Shawnee Wood PT, DPT, RYT

Shawnee grew up in Lake Tahoe. She followed her passion out to Denver, Colorado to play four years of collegiate soccer at Regis University while achieving a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience. It was at Regis where Shawnee also earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and found her passion for rehabilitation back to performance of athletes. Shawnee has a broad range of experience. She has been teaching yoga since 2013 at home and abroad and curiously views the body as a whole. Having spent time working under a Sports Specialist and being a competitive athlete herself, she focuses on returning athletes not only back to function but back to peak performance.  Shawnee integrates the nervous system into her scope of practice in all realms of healing and achieving goals.  She loves treating all athletes inclusive of spinal cord injury. Shawnee spent six months interning at Craig Hospital focusing on Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation. She worked with individuals directly after injury with  in-patient rehab and transitioned into week-long re-evaluations of individuals who were one year to forty-seven years post-injury.  Shawnee practices with evidence-based research to meet the needs of each individual. She has a passion to connect athletes of all levels back to their bodies to reach their goals before and after injury. She has a passion for strengthening the mind as well as the body to navigate athletes back to their true confidence in performing at their highest level.  Shawnee loves to travel the world but also enjoys everything her beautiful Tahoe home has to offer. She is an avid backcountry skier, enjoys long trail runs, rock climbing, mountain biking, playing soccer and plunging into high alpine lakes to cleanse the soul!
