Dr.
Sachtler has been continually learning as a physical therapist since
his graduation from Boston University nearly 20 years ago. During that time he has completed Manual Therapy programs from
the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy and the URSA Foundation, become a certified and re-certified Orthopedic
Specialist by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, and become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. In 2005, he completed a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the
Arizona School of Health Sciences, a part of A.T. Still University, the first osteopathic university in the country.
Dr.
Sachtler has studied and uses numerous therapies in his practice including hands-on manipulative methods, advanced exercise
and movement training, orthotic fabrication, and the most up-to-date forms of microcurrent and cold laser therapy. His experience
comprises
nearly every field of physical therapy as well as much experience as a competitive
athlete. He won several varsity letters in NCAA Tennis and also competed at the semi-pro level; he raced on his college ski
team and with various clubs; he also has run the Boston Marathon and has ridden the Markleeville Deathride on numerous occasions.
Kirk loves
adventures of all kinds, he has run and climbed up and down many big mountains, earned a second degree blackbelt in Jujitsu,
and has been a volunteer ski patrol at Alpine Meadows for nearly 20 years. Not surprisingly, he has had to deal with his
share of injuries and surgeries giving him a unique insight into the pain and disability that patients often experience.
