Hello everyone! My name is Adam Mortensen, and I am from Council Bluffs, IA. I am currently a student at Creighton University, where I just finished my first year and am on track to graduate in
2028. For the next 6 weeks I will be working as a Student Physical Therapist here at Accelacare!
I wanted to work at Accelacare because I want to learn from respected professionals so that I can be the best PT I can possibly be. I am passionate about improving my patients' lives - both through excellent physical therapy care and by building good, functional relationships that make the process more fun. I truly enjoy getting to meet new patients and providing them with quality care.
Before starting PT school, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise cience from BYU and a Master’s in Health, Human Performance, and Recreation from Pittsburg State. I am EMR/BLS certified, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA, and have my EXOS Performance Specialist (XPS) certification. I also love research and have been involved in projects at every stage
of my college career.
Outside the clinic, I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer and flag football, and you can often find me playing intramurals with my classmates. I also
value time with my family, especially my wife—we are actually about to celebrate our one-year anniversary!
I want to thank the entire team at Accelacare for providing such a great, supportive environment for me to learn and grow.
