“I feel so fortunate to be in this position. I enjoy working with patients and helping them reach their goals.”
Gregor Wenig, a physical therapist, sees patients with orthopedic injuries from low back and neck pain to joint pain. He also helps people improve their strength and balance.
Wenig knew he wanted to be in health care from the time he was in high school. After job shadowing a physical therapist, he realized it was the field for him.
"Physical therapy allows you to see patients from start to finish, and you may get to see them a couple times a week," Wenig said. "I like that chance to build relationships with my patients and help them get better. You get to see the impact you're making with patients, and that is truly rewarding."
A key focus for Wenig is to make sure he always provides individualized care.
"I try not to stick to one specific protocol," he said. "I try to tailor my care to each individual and what needs the patient may have."
Wenig earned his doctorate of physical therapy degree and his bachelor's degree in biology from Carroll University in Waukesha.
When he's not at work, Wenig likes to spend time watching sports. He is a big fan of the Badgers, Packers and Bucks. He also enjoys spending time with family and friends.
