Jason Kugel
I was born in Los Angeles, CA and my family relocated to Chehalis, WA when I was 4 years old. I have had a connection to this community ever since. As a child I loved getting outside, playing in the woods, and playing sports. This has contributed to my current active lifestyle and passion for physical therapy. I started my professional education first earning my Bachelor’s degree in business administration in 2005 from Pacific Union College in the Napa Valley are and then my MBA in accounting in 2012 from La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. It was my love of being active and wanting to help others remain active as well that eventually led me to pursue physical therapy as my career. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University in 2017. It was while earning my physical therapy degree that I met my wife and we moved back to Chehalis, WA in 2017. I spent my first 7 years as a physical therapist working for Providence in Centralia, WA and then began working at Chehalis Physical Therapy in 2024. In my years as a physical therapist I have experience with many orthopedic physical therapy conditions, including chronic pain, post-operative rehabilitation, IASTM, and I am passionate about the proper mechanics of movement. Today you can find me hanging out with my wife and our two boys, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, rucking, or working out.
