Kyle Swensen is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Provo, Utah.
As a clinician, Kyle is passionate about helping patients live without pain and solving practical problems that allow them to live the life they want. When patients meet with Kyle they always leave with a better understanding of their condition and their device, feeling empowered to make choices to improve their life.
After having his left leg amputated following a car accident when he was 18 years old, Kyle was introduced to the world of prosthetics and discovered a passion for studying human movement and prosthetics. Kyle finds incredible joy and fulfillment in helping people return to the activities they love, and in accompanying patients when they do. Rock climbing, weightlifting, grappling, triathlons, skiing, and swimming are a few of the things he has been able to learn for himself as he has helped patients re-learn hobbies using their new devices.
Outside of work, Kyle is a fan of Calvin & Hobbes comics, classical piano music, baking, woodworking, and shark movies. He has three wild little boys and loves camping and being in the mountains.
