Nina Hendler, PT, DPT

Nina is a physical therapist currently participating in the MOR Sports Physical Therapy Residency program. Originally from Michigan, she earned her bachelor's degree in Movement Science from the University of Michigan, where she was actively involved in sports, first as member of the women’s rowing team and later as a team manager for women’s gymnastics. Her athletic background, firsthand experience with physical therapy, and an interest in anatomy and physiology all inspired her career path. 

She completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northwestern University in Chicago, where she assisted with ACL research and worked with student-athletes. This experience highlighted the importance of mentorship and education in providing specialized care, leading her to pursue sports residency training. 

Nina is dedicated to helping athletes return to their sports using a holistic approach within a collaborative healthcare team. In her free time, she enjoys running along the lakefront, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
