Conlan graduated with his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Boston University in 2018. He is a Board-certified orthopedic specialist with experience working in outpatient physical therapy settings. He has experience working with a variety of clients on issues such as low back and neck pain, knee and ankle pain, chronic pain, pre- and post-surgery, and return to sport. Conlan has a special interest in working with runners to eliminate pain and improve performance. Conlan's enthusiasm for physical therapy stems from a belief that everyone deserves to be able to live and move in a way that maximizes their freedom and independence. He believes that the most successful physical therapy experiences include communication, education, and a strong therapeutic alliance.

A recent transplant from Boston to the Seattle area, Conlan enjoys getting outside, whether to run, hike, or try a new restaurant. He is also an avid Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox fan, and won't let you forget it!
