Joel Luedke, L.A.T.

It is important to me to meet the patient where they are at and identify how I can best help them reach their goals of relieving pain, increasing activity and/or returning to sports. I create personalized care based on the needs of the patient and their goals.

I am an avid learner who is constantly improving my understanding of how the body works and how I can help modify and adjust anything to achieve goals. I like to stay active and connected with other professionals through many channels including the two podcasts I host.
