Why Choose Aretas?
Arete • Greek for excellence
Our Story
Nate and Kevin are both Milwaukee natives whose paths first crossed nearly a decade ago while working within a local hospital system.
From the start, it was clear they shared a common goal: to address the challenges they saw in how physical therapy was delivered within large healthcare environments. Over the next five years, they worked together in private practice under a corporate model—an experience that solved some problems, but ultimately reinforced their desire to build something of their own.
After countless hours on the phone and sleepless nights creating business plans and analyzing the options, Nate and Kevin made the jump to go fully private and open both locations of Aretas Physical Therapy in May of 2023.
Today, Aretas reflects exactly what they set out to create: a place where physical therapists love to work, patients feel motivated and supported, and the environment itself plays a role in healing. Their goal is simple—to provide exceptional care, build genuine community, and create an experience patients are excited to recommend.
Our values are the foundation for how we treat, mentor our staff, and develop relationships in our community and clinics.
