Molly Van Zeeland | DPT
Physical Therapist
Molly Van Zeeland has the Lawrence University football team to thank for her career in physical therapy. While she was in college, she served as their student athletic trainer and developed a passion for helping athletes not only rehabilitate after injury but also achieve their peak athletic performance.
What gets Molly really excited? She loves seeing pictures of her patients getting back to what they love doing most, as a result of their therapy. She practically has a full photo album of past patients competing in marathons, hiking mountains, bow hunting, traveling and caring for their grandchildren. Her patients’ accomplishments are her pride and joy.
Molly enjoys staying active by way of running, triathlons, bootcamp style workouts, and just about anything outdoors. Molly boasts 3 beautiful daughters she loves to support in sports, piano, and theatre. Her family’s latest passion keeps them buzzing — beekeeping!
