    About<\/h2>\n

    Joshua Zottnick is the Lead Exercise Therapist at Beyond Therapy. With a lifelong interest in athletics, Joshua was drawn to exercise and rehabilitation to help others improve their well-being. He finds fulfillment in seeing clients make daily progress in their recovery.<\/p>\n

    Joshua’s connection to Shepherd Center began when a close friend sustained a traumatic brain injury and was admitted as an inpatient. Visiting his friend during his recovery, Joshua felt a strong pull to work at Shepherd Center, ultimately becoming the first Exercise Physiologist for the newly created Beyond Therapy Program.<\/p>\n

    Originally from Bismarck, North Dakota, Joshua enjoys volunteering as a coach for the Shepherd Softball team. Outside of work, he stays active athletically, enjoys traveling, and loves attending concerts and sporting events with his family.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
