Dr. Denny Kolkebeck, D.P.T., O.C.S., C.M.T.P.T., H.S.P., K.T.C., C.S.C.S.:

Denny has been a “physical adventurer,” climbing, tumbling & training since conception. He is passionate about maximizing people’s health, empowering clients to perform better, & reach their God-given potential to excel in the game of life!

Dr. Kolkebeck has been both an orthopedic sports-medicine physical therapist & strength & conditioning coach for 29 years & wears both roles on his sleeve. He both teaches and attends numerous seminars and workshops looking to both share and learn whatever is useful.

He works with all levels and types of athletes ranging from marathon runners to triathletes; power-lifters to Olympic weightlifters; cyclists to swimmers; football players to wrestlers; obstacle course racers to America's elite. He enjoys collaborating with coaches and athletes at every level and loves learning new insights.

Denny believes:

• “Up-stream solutions” need to be the focus in both healthcare and performance

• Food is medicine, and medicine is a side-effect waiting to happen

• People need more sleep, more fluids, less stress, more movement, and more nutrient dense food!

• Athletes need to work-on fundamental athleticism and individualized periodization

• Young student-athletes need more fundamental work, sleep, real food, and LESS social media

• Do the right thing, for the right reasons, right now

• In the power of exercise, laughter & prayer

He applies these beliefs by:

• taking both a holistic & individualized approach with his athletes

• striving for “mens sana in corpore sano”- a sound mind in a sound body

• practicing what he preaches

While encouraging balance & moderation in life, Denny rarely experiences it himself. He enjoys participating in obstacle course races, scuba diving, reading, and barefoot running. He is married to a teacher who constantly corrects his grammar and has two wonderful children who will grow up to be smarter, stronger and wiser than him (not too hard to accomplish).

Denny is available for consultations and treatment for any tweaked or painful conditions needing a little physical therapy. He's also available for individual or team coaching; workshops or presentations.
