Experience

During his tenure at Northern Michigan University, Kyle worked in athletic training clinics, treating university athletes across a variety of sports teams including American football, basketball, volleyball, track and field, and ice hockey.

After graduating from his physical therapy program, he was initially employed as a licensed physical therapist with Athletico in the greater Chicago area. During this time, he shadowed different surgeons, observed orthopaedic surgeries, and treated multiple post-operative patients through the entire rehabilitation process. He also had the chance to work with high-level high school athletes bound for competitive university athletic programs.

Kyle moved to Washington, DC in 2017, where he worked for an outpatient musculoskeletal clinic through a regional hospital. There, he continued to perform pre-habilitation and post-operative rehabilitation for patients preparing or recovering from various procedures, right the way through to their full return to sport. He became a clinical instructor for students in their final rotation before graduation and a mentor assisting recent graduates with complex cases.

He continued his basketball career into university, playing a year at Northern Michigan University. He also sculled with a former patient for a year to improve knowledge of the biomechanics of rowing. He continues to enjoy playing sand volleyball, alpine skiing, and golf.
