Course Lessons
Dr. Nathan Estrada
Dr. Nathan Estrada is a passionate advocate for older adults and a subject matter expert on older adult balance training and fall prevention. He is a physical therapist by training, receiving his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado Denver Health Science Center, where he also received the Hubert J. Levy Humanitarian Award in 2007.
Professionally, he has worked in outpatient orthopedics, sports medicine, and home health, where he discovered a passion for empowering older adults to participate more fully in life. He was the program manager for Senior Living at Bayada Home, where he focused on older adult population health. Most recently, Nathan was the VP of Clinical for Nymbl Science.
Dr. Estrada believes we have bought into the lie that aging is less and that health decline is somehow a normal expectation of aging. He is validating that empowerment will always yield better results than fear and that healthcare should be fun. He believes we can better meet older adults’ needs by combining human connection with technology to impact results at a population level. His primary mission is to bring lasting solutions to older adults to meet the greatest anxiety points of aging, beginning with falls.
