Dr. Jason Mettlach

Physical therapist focused on athletic development and getting you back to your sport, safely and without wasted visits.

Return to sport is the goal, not the bonus.

Jason grew up in Wisconsin and finished a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin in 2019. He worked as a personal trainer from 2018 to 2020, then moved to Salt Lake City for his Doctor of Physical Therapy at the University of Utah, which he completed in 2023. Since graduating he has worked in outpatient orthopedics in Park City, Utah.

He focuses on athletic development, return to sport and recreational activity, manual therapy, and exercise prescription. The priority is getting you back to what matters most to you, safely and efficiently. He especially enjoys treating ACL repairs, low back pain, knee pain, tendinopathy, and rotator cuff injuries and repairs. After his doctorate he completed an 18-month orthopedic clinical specialist residency, working with recreational, high school, semi-professional, and fully professional athletes.

Listen First

Your first visit runs about an hour, and it starts with the story, not the table. What you did, when it changed, and what you have stopped doing since.

Find the Cause

Hands-on assessment and objective testing. The place that hurts is often not the place that failed, and telling the difference is what the full appointment is for.

Load It Back Up

Reduce the pain, prevent the recurrence, prime the tissue, then perform. Manual therapy and exercise prescription, progressed until you can do the thing again.

Training and experience.

Plus a short list of values he actually names: treat others how you would like to be treated, show empathy, always give your best effort, and have fun.
