About

Justin Nicol, PT, DPT, OCS, hails from the cornfields and hockey hotbed of Waterloo, Iowa, where he developed a strong passion for the game. This passion has led to a life filled with playing, coaching, and training at various levels. This allowed a unique opportunity for Justin to work as an Adjunct Physical Therapist with the Minnesota Wild for the last four years and develop rehab strategies for injury prevention and recovery to apply to athletes of all ages and sports. He has special interest in treating sports and orthopedic injuries, specifically, lower extremity injuries, shoulders, and provides on ice return to play rehabilitation for hockey players. Outside of work, Justin enjoys spending time with his son, daughter, and wife around the lakes of Minnesota, as well as traveling and cheering on the Hawkeyes.

Justin provides Training HAUS sports physical therapy services at Training HAUS – Vadnais Heights, located next to TCO Vadnais Heights. To learn more about Training HAUS, click here.
