Our Team

Jason Dorsch

PT, DPT, ATC

Dr. Dorsch has been working with athletes throughout his career. He started out as a certified athletic trainer (ATC) working with high school athletes in Mesa, AZ. Later, he joined the Athletic Training and Sports Medicine team of the Arizona Rattlers Arena Football team. He has also treated athletes at Northern Arizona University (NAU), working with the basketball, football, swimming, tennis, and cross country teams. 

As much as he enjoyed being an athletic trainer, Jason decided to pursue additional qualifications in order to better serve the needs of his patients. As a physical therapist in Flagstaff, Jason realized that he could provide a greater breadth of care services. He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree at NAU. That allowed him to accept a position at a neurological and orthopedic clinic, where he acquired the additional credential of Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR) clinician.

When Jason joined our physical therapy clinic, he brought with him an enduring commitment to effect meaningful change in the lives of patients and athletes, empowering them to live up to their true potential. Jason established the integrative, holistic vision of our physical therapy program, drawing from the traditional approach of the European model. He is also committed to furthering the field by training the next generation of physical therapists. Jason mentors undergraduates and DPT candidates at our clinic, and teaches physical therapy at NAU. He also practices occupational physical therapy at W.L Gore, and spends his spare time volunteering for the Flagstaff Pro Rodeo, and the Landshark and CobraFist rugby teams.
