Denny has been a “physical adventurer,” since conception and loves obstacle course racing, scuba diving, and training. He is uber passionate about maximizing people’s health, performance capacity, and getting athletes back to their sport!

Denny has been both an eclectic, orthopedic sports-medicine physical therapist and strength and conditioning coach for 22 years and wears both roles on his sleeve.

He uses a combination of manual therapy skills, dry-needling, taping and movement based drills to "control - alt - delete" aberrant movement patterns, muscle inhibition and musculoskeletal asymmetries.

Denny relishes teaching and sharing what he believes works and is useful to colleagues and healthcare professionals while also learning something new from them!

He works with athletes ranging from endurance athletes to power lifters, ball players to field athletes, and all levels in between.

Denny is the owner of Moose (L)-Up Redemption Club (MURC) Strength Gym and Denny PT Solutions. He believes a beautiful marriage exists between physical therapy and strength and conditioning whether helping clients to alleviate pain or improve their athleticism.
