Our mission is to bring high-quality, specialized physical therapy and performance-focused care to the rural communities of the Driftless Area, making individualized care more accessible to the people who live, work, train, and compete here.

Dr. Patrick Veitch, PT, DPT, CSCS

Patrick is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a background in strength & conditioning. He has over 11 years of experience working with athletes and active individuals involved in CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and combat sports, and has competed in Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit himself.

He earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Kentucky, gaining additional clinical experience with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes through UK Sports Medicine.

His approach to physical therapy is hands-on, active, and individualized. He uses techniques such as joint manipulation and dry needling when appropriate, while emphasizing progressive exercise, graded exposure, and loading to build long-term strength and capacity. He also uses test-and-retest to continually adjust treatment based on how each person responds.

He founded Driftless Performance & Rehab to provide personal, individualized physical therapy focused on helping people return to the activities they enjoy—whether that's lifting, running, competing, working, or simply moving without pain.

Outside of the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his family, hunting, fishing, strength training, and being outdoors.
