Meet the Team
Dr. Nick Dennis, PT, DPT, NCS
Co- Founder/ Owner
Dr. Nick earned his Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Spanish from the University of Alabama in 2019, where he also coached CrossFit for all four years — the beginning of his passion for pushing people beyond their perceived limits. He went on to earn his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from UT Health San Antonio in 2022. Growing up in a military family, he calls San Antonio, TX home.
Since earning his doctorate, Dr. Nick has worked across acute care and inpatient settings and now sees neurologic patients daily in the outpatient clinic at UT Health San Antonio. He works with individuals living with Parkinson's disease, stroke, SCI, TBI, cerebral palsy, and more. A Neurologic Certified Specialist (NCS), he leads several clinical programs through UT Health and is driven by a deep desire to help patients reach levels they never thought possible — and reclaim lives they feared were behind them.
Dr. Nick is a lifelong learner who thrives on being challenged and believes every person deserves the opportunity to get stronger, push themselves, and discover more about who they are through movement and activity.
Outside the clinic, he and his wife Kendyl are kept busy — and endlessly entertained — by their two little boys, Jude and Olsen. He loves coffee, cooking, music, hanging out with friends, and anything involving sports
