About — MTN Physio

Meet Dr. Preston Ward

Helping serious mountain hunters perform at their best—before, during, and beyond the season. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, mountain hunter, husband, father, and lifelong outdoorsman. I created MTN PHYSIO because every hunter deserves more than a generic workout plan.

Why I Started MTN Physio

The One Thing Hunters Overlook

I’ve spent years helping people recover from injuries and improve the way they move. At the same time, I’ve spent countless days in the mountains chasing elk, mule deer, and backcountry adventures.

Over the years I noticed something that never made sense. Hunters would spend thousands on tags, boots, optics, and every piece of gear imaginable—but very few invested in the one thing that had to carry all of it. Their body.

Too many seasons ended the same way. Knees started hurting. Backs tightened. Shoulders became painful. Energy disappeared. Dream hunts became survival missions—not because these hunters lacked determination, but because they were never given a plan built specifically for them.

That’s why I created MTN PHYSIO—to give hunters a Doctor who understands both mountain hunting and the human body.

Our Philosophy

Success in the Mountains Isn’t an Accident. It’s Built Long Before Opening Day.

Most programs focus on getting you ready for the season. Our mission is bigger. We help you prepare before the season, support you throughout it, and give you the best opportunity to finish strong. Your hunt doesn’t begin on opening morning—it begins with every decision you make months before you leave the trailhead.

Every hunter is different. Every hunt is different. Every body is different. So every client begins with a comprehensive movement and performance evaluation—then we stay with you.

More Than a Program

A Partnership

When you work with MTN PHYSIO, you’re not simply purchasing a training plan. You’re partnering with someone who’s invested in your success—someone who understands the physical demands of mountain hunting.

Someone who knows what it’s like to climb one more ridge, carry a heavy pack, and wake up sore for another day in the backcountry.

My goal is simple: to help you move better, perform better, stay healthier, and keep chasing mountain adventures for years to come.
