Sanatan Golden PT, DPT

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist

Physical Therapist: Downtown Portland Physical Therapy

Sanatan (pronounced sah-NAH-tahn) started his professional life as a mechanical engineer, but soon realized that the ‘machine’ he most loved was the human body. After years as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist and personal trainer he decided that there would be no better way to improve his ability to help others grow strong and healthy, than to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He is currently pursuing advanced manual therapy training through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.

Spending years as high-flying competitive Ultimate Frisbee player at the collegiate, national, and international levels, Sanatan certainly knows the demands of sport on the body. A bit more grounded now with a new daughter, he also understands the challenges of trying to stay active and healthy within our busy lives. Recently he founded Minimalist Mondays, a program for those interested in the many benefits of transitioning to minimalist shoes (or none at all!) to restore natural running and walking gait.

Sanatan is psyched to be part of the great team at Therapeutic Associates – Downtown Portland, and looks forward to helping you and your body move naturally down the path towards health and wellness.
