The Athlete Lab’s Mission is to provide athletes with the most comprehensive, evidence based and holistic approach to their rehabilitation, recovery and long term health.

Take a good look at all our website and you will see, we are different.  At The Athlete Lab, we know that participation in sports, competition and physical fitness means so much more to athletes.  It is a big part of who you are and your life.  It is a part of your identity and who you are.  It makes you proud of what you are able to accomplish and to be able to share with others.  When that ability is lost, this has a big impact on you mentally as well as physically.  An injury not only keeps you off the field or off the mat, but has a lot of downstream effects on health (current and future).  At The Athlete Lab, we know that and we are here to help athletes not only recovery to a higher degree, to not only come back faster and stronger but to help them remain active for the rest of their life.  To set them up for a lifetime of physical fitness and improved health.

The Athlete Lab is a cash based sports rehabilitation and recovery clinic that leverages the latest in sports science & research and blends it with the latest in sport technology to provide athletes with a level of service typically only experienced at the professional or elite military level.  This unique blending and holistic approach improves athlete outcomes, improved performance measures, mitigates risk for injury and improves long term health.  Our services are provided by sports physical therapist who are specialized and certified in the various unique services we offer to provide our athletes with a consistent, comprehensive and holistic approach to their care.

The Athlete Lab was founded by Dr. Trent Nessler, an internationally recognized sports physical therapist and sports biomechanist.  Dr. Nessler has worked with athletes of all levels (Olympic to professional to recreational) and elite tactical athletes for over 25 years.  Dr. Nessler has developed several commercial programs and technology products that are currently used in professional and collegiate sports and by first responders and military groups all over the US.  The ViMove+ AMI, co-developed by Dr. Nessler, in partnership with DorsaVi, has been used on 90,000+ athletes across 5 countries and is now the largest objective sport and tactical athletic movement database in the world.  This has lead to the development of specific programming and approaches that provide optimal outcomes and results not seen in traditional rehabilitation models.
