Veritas Physical Therapy provides sports and orthopedic rehab, plus specialized TMD and vestibular care, to patients across the Des Moines metro — led by a doctor of physical therapy with extensive advanced training.
Veritas Physical Therapy was built to provide the highest level of care possible to our patients. After graduating from Drake University, where he played soccer, Nathan attended the University of Iowa where he earned his doctorate. He stayed in Iowa City for four years after, where he worked as the strength and performance coach at both Solon High School and Iowa City Liberty High School in addition to his clinical duties as a physical therapist.
Nathan lives in Clive with his wife, Mandi, and their son, Crew.
“Veritas is Latin for Truth. This word has been important to me through multiple seasons of my life. Growing up, my primary school had three pillars of learning—veritas (truth), bonitas (goodness), and pulchritude (beauty). I then attended Drake University where the University motto is ‘Veritas.’ During grad school, I found community in a church named Veritas (Tiffin, IA). I want Veritas Physical Therapy to continue that importance, helping to bring truth into the world of rehab.”
Focused expertise across three specialty areas, all in one clinic.
Finding a provider that understands the demands of your sport is essential. If you're tired of hearing “just rest” or “stop playing for a month,” this is the space for you.
Veritas Physical Therapy combines evidence-based treatment with the correct strength training dose to return you back to sport better than when you left. From intensive post-surgical rehabilitation to minor sprains and strains, we have all of your needs covered to get you back on the field, court, or track.
Specialized treatment for jaw pain, clicking, locking, and TMJ-related headaches.
AIB-certified care for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders.
At Veritas Physical Therapy, we believe great care shouldn't force you into a one-size-fits-all box. Whether you're actively being treated or working on what comes after, we offer a path built around you.
Prefer to use your insurance benefits? Visit us at our Urbandale clinic for hands-on, one-on-one physical therapy — with the convenience of in-network billing.
Not currently in active treatment but want expert support for how you move, feel, and perform? Our concierge model brings that support directly to your home, office, or training facility — no clinic visit required.
Concierge wellness and performance options are typically not covered by insurance.
Concierge sessions are wellness and performance-based — not a substitute for physical therapy treatment of an active injury. They're built for two common situations:
For people who aren't dealing with an acute injury but want to stay ahead of one — maintaining the mobility, strength, and movement quality that keeps everyday life and activity feeling good.
For athletes who've been discharged from physical therapy but still aren't back to their pre-injury level — bridging the gap between "cleared" and actually performing at full speed, strength, and confidence.
Every plan of care draws from a range of evidence-based tools, matched to what your body actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Targeted needling of trigger points and tight muscle tissue to reduce pain, release tension, and restore normal movement patterns faster than stretching alone.
Hands-on joint mobilization and soft tissue work to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and address restrictions that limit your progress.
Rehab programming built around the actual movements of your sport — cutting, sprinting, throwing, jumping — not generic exercises.
Progressive, individualized strength and mobility programming dosed correctly for where you are in recovery, not a copy-paste handout.
Structured, milestone-based recovery following orthopedic surgery, coordinated with your surgeon's protocol from day one through return to activity.
Objective strength, movement, and performance testing to confirm you're actually ready to return — not just pain-free.
AIB-certified treatment for BPPV, vertigo, PPPD, vestibular migraine, Ménière's disease, and balance dysfunction, including canalith repositioning and habituation exercises.
Specialized jaw mobilization, postural correction, and guided exercise for jaw pain, clicking, locking, and TMJ-related headaches.
Straightforward answers to what patients most often want to know.
TMD (temporomandibular disorder) causes jaw pain, clicking, locking, and related headaches. Physical therapy — including manual therapy and guided exercise — is a first-line, non-surgical treatment shown to reduce TMD symptoms.
Vestibular rehab treats dizziness, vertigo, BPPV, PPPD, vestibular migraine, Menière's disease, and balance or fall risk issues, often including concussion-related dizziness.
Veritas accepts the majority of commercial insurance plans for in-clinic physical therapy.
Dry needling targets trigger points and tight muscle tissue to reduce pain and restore normal movement. It's available both in-clinic and as part of concierge sessions.
Yes — this is exactly what our Return-to-Sport Performance Training is built for: bridging the gap between being cleared and actually performing at your pre-injury level.
Based in Urbandale, Veritas Physical Therapy provides sports, orthopedic, TMD, and vestibular rehabilitation to patients throughout the greater Des Moines area — in our clinic or, with our concierge model, wherever you are in the metro.
