Tegan Otto, PT, DPT
Hey! My name is Tegan Otto, and I was a former gymnast at NSGA for my entire USAG career. I made it to level 10 under the tutelage of Ryan and Odie, and went onto D3 Gymnastics at UW-LaCrosse where we won 2 National Championships. I also had the opportunity to coach a national championship team while in Physical Therapy school at UW-L. These days, I’ve taken my love of sport into the Physical Therapy world and rehabbing those who love gymnastics just as much as I did growing up. In my first 6 years as a PT I felt bound by insurance policies, and timelines and I decided to grow my own company Core Physical Therapy. Whether a gymnast, a parent of a gymnast, or family friend we are all a small gymnastics community, and my goal is to help you meet your goals. Please reach out at anytime if you have questions, or would like to start with Core PT!
Happy to help you back to your health!

Hi there, I’m Claire! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes therapy should feel real, approachable, and human. As a former level 10 gymnast, I work with athletes who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, confidence issues, pressure, injuries, fear, burnout, and the many mental challenges that can come with sports.
My goal is to help athletes better understand themselves, develop practical tools for managing the mental side of their sport, and feel more confident both in and outside of the gym. I also use EMDR to help athletes work through traumatic injuries and experiences that may still be affecting them. We’ll use evidence-based approaches, but therapy doesn’t have to feel overly clinical—expect plenty of conversation, humor, and real-life strategies you can actually use.
