Ethan Powell earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Utah in 2023 and his Bachelor of Science in Physical Chemistry from the University of Utah in 2016. Before becoming a physical therapist, Ethan worked as a surgical technician at the University of Utah Hospital, where he gained a unique familiarity with anatomy, physiology, and medicine. Working in a large hospital also attuned him to the current medical system’s bias towards reactivity and invasive measures. After over a decade in the OR, Ethan hung up his scrubs to pursue a career in physical therapy, where he can blend wellness and preventative medicine with his passion for movement.
During his physical therapy training, Ethan participated in internships focusing on sports rehabilitation, cardiovascular intensive care, and acute spinal cord injury rehabilitation. He also completed a twelve week internship here at Pinnacle, learning from Amy and the rest of Pinnacle’s excellent PTs.
When he isn’t helping others heal their bodies, Ethan can be found up the canyons climbing, skiing, chasing after pickleballs, cooking tasty food, or enjoying ice cream on the couch.
