At the Wellness Center, Wilder will focus on helping physically active individuals of all ages improve performance plus overall health and fitness, as well as do follow-up rehabilitation training with people recovering from injuries. “I have a rehabilitation and physical therapy background so I bring a different expertise than someone from an exercise physiology background,” he explains.
Nathan’s fitness philosophy:
“I follow a total body philosophy, which is very dynamic in nature and involves working multi-joint and multi-muscle groups at one time rather than in isolation.”
Specialty: Athletic training, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
