Nate Shin, PT, DPT, Physical Therapist, Downtown Los Angeles

Nate Shin, PT, DPT

  

Nate graduated from the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Marymount University in 2012 and prior to that received his Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine at Pepperdine University in 2008.  Nate specializes in outpatient orthopedic care working with the general population as well as athletes and has been working in Downtown Los Angeles with AXIS PT since 2015. His assessment and treatment approach comes from the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). Through these principles he is able to recognize dysfunctional movement patterns and find the cause of the symptoms; not solely treating the source of the pain.  He then utilizes manual therapy - soft tissue and/or joint mobilization techniques – and exercises to restore pain-free, quality movement.  Exercises focus on mobility, flexibility, motor control, and strength.  The goal for each patient is to develop an awareness of their own body and movements and learn to be independent from the physical therapist.  In his free time Nate enjoys biking, playing basketball, running, and watching movies.
