Dr.Trent works miracles here at the athlete lab! I’m a full time jiujitsu competitor and he has given me full confidence that my injuries will be rehabbed 100% through the progress I’ve already seen and the work we continue to do! He has an amazing high tech facility and is truly knowledgeable in injury prevention and rehab. I highly recommend the athlete lab to anyone looking to heal their injuries or simply boost their physical health! Thank you doctor!

We came to Dr. Trent after my son’s significant foot injury had kept him out of football for the season, a devastating setback for a young athlete. From the very first appointment, Dr. Trent demonstrated his expertise and a deep commitment to helping my son reach his goals. He thoroughly assessed the injury and laid out a clear, challenging, achievable recovery plan. He's spent each session challenging my son, both physically and mentally.

What stands out most is Dr. Trent’s educational approach. He ensures my son understands each exercise and treatment, explaining how they aid his healing and helping him recognize sensations that are part of progress versus those that could signal potential setbacks. This knowledge has been instrumental in preventing reinjury, as my son now understands how to challenge himself safely. Dr. Trent’s guidance has given him a new perspective on training, making him more confident and knowledgeable about his body. This empowerment has allowed him to work out independently with better technique and awareness.

Dr. Trent has completely transformed what could have been a discouraging experience into one of growth and resilience. Watching my son regain his physical strength, mental toughness, and confidence has been incredible. I couldn’t be more grateful for Dr. Trent’s support and dedication throughout this journey. His expertise and guidance have made a lasting difference, not only in my son’s recovery but also in his confidence and approach to training. We’re so glad we found Dr. Trent and highly recommend him to anyone looking for help from someone who is determined and dedicated to helping you surpass your goals.

Thank you!

Trent is amazing at what he does. Best PT I have ever worked with. He stays up to date with the latest research, technology and techniques and is incredibly knowledgeable with lots of experience with professional athletes. He is also very attentive and because he is an athlete himself he has a unique ability to identify the root cause of the injury efficiently and helps you get back to doing what you love as quickly as possible. Not just another PT. Trent Nessler is the only one I can truly recommend without reservations.

Dr. Trent is the guy to see if you are an active athlete. The fact that he is an active athlete him self in the same sport as me (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is awesome because of his first hand experience. Excited to continue to see him and build a my body back up to 100%. I already feel less pain from our first consult. On top of PT he has all the recovery tools needed!

I threw out my back practicing BJJ and saw little progress until I visited Dr. Trent. In just one session, his comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment significantly reduced my pain, tightness, and increased my mobility. The exercises he recommended for home use provided much needed relief and accelerated my recovery. As an athlete himself with decades of PT experience, Dr. Trent's expertise and understanding are legitimately unparalleled. I'm grateful and satisfied I pulled the trigger booking the appointment.

Great visit with Dr. Trent Nessler! Before coming in, I had muscle soreness in multiple places. I have been looking for someone to help me with these nagging issues. I was also interested in becoming more proactive in preventing future injuries. I found it here at The Athlete Lab! Dr Nessler is very knowledgeable and cares about his athletes. My body feels amazing and I will be returning frequently. Thanks!

I've had a fantastic experience with Trent at The Athlete Lab. Having someone who is a BJJ athlete has proven invaluable in my recovery - across three different injuries. He takes extra time to truly understand the problem before jumping into treatment. I appreciate the attention to determining activities in my day-to-day that could be aggravating underlying issues. Wholeheartedly recommend a visit.
