Bio
Joe Uhan, DPT, OCS, CFMT, MA, USATF II
Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialist
Certified Functional Manual Therapist
Master of Arts, Kinesiology
USA Track & Field Level II-Certified Coach
Joe is a Minnesota native who got his start in orthopedics and sports medicine coaching high school cross country and track and field. With a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Joe worked as an analytical chemist for five years while coaching. Hoping to help his athletes deal with injury, he transitioned to a career in physical therapy, graduating with a Clinical Doctorate degree from Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2009.
Since 2009 Joe has served the Eugene community, treating a wide scope of conditions — from headaches to toe pain, and everything in-between — with patients as young as seven and as mature as ninety-three. While he enjoys helping a wide variety of people and predicaments, Joe specializes in running injury treatment and prevention — including multi-dimensional running stride analysis — fulfilling his initial inspiration for medical practice!
Joe has professional training under the following disciplines:
- McKenzie Institute
- Institute of Physical Art
- North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy
- NeuroOrthopedic Institute
Post-professionally, Dr. Uhan has earned his Board Certification in Orthopedics, and most recently, became a Certified Functional Manual Therapist through the Institute of Physical Art.
His treatment style utilizes a scientific, systems-based analytical approach, evaluating and treating the whole person, not just the painful area. Utilizing skilled manual therapy - including joint mobilization and manipulation, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques targeted strength and mobility interventions, and movement education to provide each client three-dimensional care.
