Meet The Team

Trevor Groves | PT

Making Central Oregon his home has been easy for Trevor Groves, as his appreciation for the diversity of the people and natural environment runs deep. Exploring the rivers, canyons, forests, and high desert of the region has long been his passion, and settling here helps him stay grounded in the things that are important to him.

Trevor is devoted to spending time with his kids, Ethan and Elliana, taking them rafting, camping and hiking. While he's been a distance runner most of his life, he also love to go mountain biking and Nordic skiing. An avid whitewater kayaker, he heads to the river when he needs time to reflect. The technical challenges and excitement coupled with the mystery and beauty of the ever flowing water brings a smile to his face and clears his mind.

Rob Nelson | PT, Cert SMT
