Whole Strength was an amazing experience. They were very professional, respectful, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with.

Working with Alan at Whole Strength literally changed my life.

I am thoroughly impressed by, and very thankful for, my experience at Whole Strength PT.

"I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Alan and the team at Whole Strength Physical Therapy. After struggling with a couple of chronic issues, I reached out in search of a provider who not only understood the importance of returning to training as pain-free as possible but also aligned with my mindset as an athlete.

"Nate is an absolute legend. I've worked with him for over a year after tearing my ACL. I am able to do all of my old hobbies (backpacking, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, skiing...), and I am even stronger than I was before the injury. None of it would have been possible without an amazing physical therapist. Highly, highly, highly recommend."

"I highly recommend Whole Strength Physical Therapy. I had been dealing with back issues on & off for years, and over time, other areas started to hurt. I didn't want to be told to simply stop doing the activities I enjoyed, so when I heard about Whole Strength and their mentality to keep you active."

"Dr. Nate Swarringim at Whole Strength PT is the best! I began working with Nate after my ACL Reconstruction, and he helped me come back even stronger than before my injury with confidence. Nate is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate PT who always kept my goals in mind when building my program.

"These guys are awesome. Luke helped me make great progress on some lingering issues from an ACL and meniscus reconstruction surgery a few years ago, as well as a minor shoulder injury. He’s not only great at resolving acute issues, but also provides the tools to prevent recurrence and new issues moving forward.
