Certifications:

T.B.D.

Areas of Special Interest:

Geriatrics, Balance/Gait, Sports Rehab

Treatment Philosophy:

Getting to know patients on a personal level to achieve the common goals we both share. Whether it be to decrease pain, build strength, or get back to a particular hobby/sport a patient enjoys, I want to do everything I can to strive towards an improved quality of life. I believe working as a team and providing high quality care with a patient centered focus is the key to the rehabilitation process.

Personal Notes:

Colton grew up in the small town of Humphrey, NE being involved in football, basketball, and track. The drive towards working in the healthcare field came when his father was going through cancer treatment. After graduating from the PTA program at SCC in 2022, he went on working as a traveling PTA in South Dakota and Oregon before settling down back in Lincoln, NE. In his free time Colton enjoys running, traveling, and spending time with family and friends cheering on any sport that the Huskers are participating in.
