Stu Wilson

Stu began his Physical Therapy journey as a patient after repeated ankle sprains plagued him throughout soccer. His admiration for those that helped him along with his love for human anatomy and movement eventually led him to the PT profession. He graduated from Colorado State University with a BS in Exercise Sport Science, emphasis on Sports Medicine, and Human Anatomy, Neurobiology. He went on to earn his Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from Regis University in Denver, CO. Stu began his PT career on the Big Island of Hawaii where he worked with all levels of athletes and orthopedic patients. He eventually moved to Steamboat Springs, CO where he progressed his specialty of working with endurance and power athletes. He continued performing high-end gait and running analysis, as well as developing a medical bike fit program. Stuart then started and owned Champion Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy clinic in Denver, CO. Champion specialized in sport-specific analysis and treatment that utilized a biomechanical, manual and functional medicine approach to problem solving. After selling Champion, he worked as the Director of PT for an Orthotic company. Later on, he became the Director of Physical Therapy for Panorama Orthopedic Surgery Center in Golden, CO. Stuart is now a proud Physical Therapist for Panther Physical Therapy. He believes that Panther has a great team and they treat the best way possible for all patients and athletes. There is no better feeling than helping someone and serving others. Stuart has consulted for USA Triathlon, was the lead PT for the Colorado Ballet, and has gained a respectful reputation as a running and cycling expert. He is currently an affiliate faculty member for Regis University and is assisting with a research study on running. He is also one of the lead presenters for Rock Tape. He has presented on many topics including taping, skiing, running, cycling, functional medicine, exercise as medicine, injury prevention, custom orthotics, and ergonomics. Stu enjoys being active outside with running, biking, hiking and snowboarding as well as playing on sports teams such as ice hockey and soccer. His favorite thing to do is be with his amazing wife and their two awesome children.
