MEET DR. J
Dr. Jake (J) Friedland
Dr. J received both his Doctor of Physical Therapy and Bachelors in Athletic Training degrees from Boston University. Growing up an avid soccer player, Dr. J was very familiar with the athletic training and physical therapy space due to some injuries that he sustained while playing. His own experiences with PT, in addition to being a member of the Athletic Training club in high school, paved the way for his passion of helping others.
Dr. J has treated a wide variety of patients, primarily Division 1 athletes and active adults, in clinics across the country. He has a passion for injury prevention and performance training for the tactical athlete population including the military, firefighters, and police officers, leading him to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). He also wants to volunteer as an EMT in the community leading to his completion of an EMT program at Creighton University last Fall. Dr. J enjoys helping people reach and exceed their goals so that they can enjoy a life filled with what they love. In his free time, he enjoys going out to eat, hiking, and always looking for new ways to stay active and embrace adventure.
