Jacob Harle – PT, DPT
Jacob Harle graduated from Bethel University with a degree in Athletic Training. Following his undergraduate, Jake attended Des Moines University in his home state, IA, to complete a Doctorate in Physical Therapy degree. During this time he completed three different internships in the outpatient orthopedic setting and would continue to work in Iowa City, IA in this setting for the next 2 years. After a brief travel therapy position in Tacoma, WA, Jake moved back to St. Paul in 2023 and began working as an outpatient therapist for Impact Medicine and Prism Aquatic Center.
Jake has a background both in the athletic and manual treatment methods. Jake was a high school and collegiate Track and Field athlete, and grew up participating in competitive martial arts. He maintains a strong interest in the science and physics of movement. Furthermore, Jake specifically sought a physical therapy education at Des Moines University for its emphasis in a holistic, osteopathic manual approach to treating pain and dysfunction. Jake employs these manual techniques as a way to progress patients more quickly toward their functional goals.
In his free time, Jake enjoys spending time with his wife, Michaela, disc golfing, playing guitar, and spending time being active outdoors in any way possible.
