This past weekend Dan had the privilege of teaching a continuing education class at Team Iowa Physical Therapy . The clinicians learned advanced diagnostic, treatment, and clinical reasoning skills related to the lumbar spine and hip.

If you’re in need of physical therapy around the Iowa City area, look them up! Team Iowa is committed to providing expert clinical care in a fun and encouraging atmosphere.

Dan truly has a passion for manual therapy and teaching. These hands-on courses are an awesome opportunity to merge those two things.

If your therapists are interested in learning more about manual therapy or your company would like to host a course, please reach out to us at info@aspire-physicaltherapy.com

This is our family. Your support of our clinic supports our family. These little faces will likely make an appearance from time to time. They’ve helped make our family clinic a reality by helping clean, move supplies, and “test” equipment. If you see us, we’ll be sure to say Hi and thank you for choosing Aspire Physical Therapy for your care.
