This is a paid piece from Dynamic Life Physical Therapy.

Simplified: You don't have to wait until a major injury to reach out to a physical therapist. Trevor Bartlett, owner of Dynamic Life Physical Therapy, works with people on using physical therapy to address everything from pain relief to building strength to managing stress with the goal of providing you with the tools you need to be successful.

Why it matters

  • Bartlett opened Dynamic Life PT in October after graduating from Augustana University's inaugural cohort of their doctorate of physical therapy program. The office is located just south of the Bridges at 57th and Western.
  • The treatment philosophy is based on building relationships, building trust and helping clients learn what they can do to improve mobility and reach their movement goals – whatever they are.
  • Bartlett's family-owned private practice is well-equipped to help with any type of physical therapy a person might need, and he's transparent that his goal is to work himself out of a job by empowering people to improve their own health through targeted exercises and a holistic approach to healing.
"I think physical therapy gives people the opportunity to take their life back in a non-invasive way," Bartlett said. "My goal as a PT is to give people the knowledge, tools, education and guidance to feel better, move better and live a healthier life style."

Tell me more

There are a lot of reasons why a person might start going to physical therapy, including:

  • back pain,
  • early morning aches and pains,
  • issues with balance,
  • recovering from surgery,
  • looking to improve your power as an athlete,
  • and many more.
"If you are hindered in any type of way from completing whatever activity you’re trying to do, we can help you," Bartlett said.

The typical process starts with an initial evaluation, which will help Bartlett establish goals and figure out the best plan to work toward those goals.

  • You'll then receive individualized care, including starting by getting good at some foundational exercises and building from there.
  • Each appointment is about an hour, and clients work one-on-one with Bartlett each time, ensuring a cohesive plan of care and steady progress for better results.

Bartlett will also help take into account your diet, lifestyle, stress levels and other factors that could be impacting your recovery. His holistic approach is designed to help you make progress toward your goals.

"Everybody’s different," Bartlett said. "Everybody’s body is going to respond differently to treatment."
