Rob Hollander, PT

 


Wisconsin native Rob Hollander spent his high school years running cross country and track and hiking throughout the Land of Cheese. Despite his athletic exploits, Rob didn’t experience physical therapy personally as a youth. Nonetheless, he saw the difference his mom was making as a nurse and decided he wanted to help people as well. As a lover of the outdoors, Rob wanted a career that allowed him to help patients remain as active and fit as possible. 

Rob attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison for his physical therapy degree. To provide his patients with the best possible care, Rob completed advanced training through the North American Institute of Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) and the McKenzie Institute, a renowned center for postgraduate study in mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MDT). 

Rob has come full circle in his desire to help patients take control of their health. In the clinic, Rob schedules appointments with patients as they are needed and then transitions his patients to self-management. His trifecta approach to physical therapy includes education, exercise prescription, and manual therapy techniques to restore proper joint movement and release soft tissue adhesions or guarding patterns.
