PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Bekah was born and raised in Orange City, IA where she participated in volleyball and basketball. Her first exposure to physical therapy (and what fueled her passion for helping others) was her rehab experience for the multiple ankle injuries she sustained while playing basketball. She ventured a distant 15 minutes from home for her undergraduate degree at Dordt University where she majored in Exercise Science. Bekah then attended Des Moines University for her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. “I am passionate about helping patients and getting them back to what they love to do through movement. Movement is vital and it is a joy to see patients achieve their goals when they move in ways they did not think they would be able to.” Bekah enjoys spending time with her growing family, hanging out with friends, being outdoors, and traveling (or dreaming about traveling) in her spare time.
