Brian Storhaug and Jake Cruze co-founded Alex PT after years of collaboration and a shared passion for patient-centered care. Having worked together in different capacities over the past eight years, their professional synergy truly came to life in January 2024 when they finally began working at the same site. Both Brian and Jake share a dedication to addressing patients' concerns with personalized plans, helping individuals restore functional movement patterns and achieve goals they co-create during the initial visit.

The idea for their clinic took shape during their lunch walks with Brian’s golden retriever, Stella—moments that balanced their busy schedules and sparked thoughtful discussions. In October 2024, Jake proposed launching a business together, aligning perfectly with their shared vision. Just a month later, a close friend of Brian’s shared insider news: Noonan Sport Specialists (NSS) was relocating and looking to expand their team with physical therapy and massage therapy services. Seizing the opportunity, Brian reached out to NSS owners Mike Hawes and Dustin Schlichting, and the partnership was quickly set in motion. Today, Alex PT stands as a testament to their collaboration, blending innovative therapy techniques with a deep commitment to community wellness.
