I’m Dr. Jonathan Leusden. I grew up loving biology, got my BA in it at the University of Colorado Boulder, then went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where I graduated Cum Laude.
I started practicing in 2006. In 2011, Dr. Lacey Picard, an OST chiropractor practicing in Holladay, Utah, was seriously injured over Labor Day weekend. I stepped in to take over her practice while she recovered, and that’s how I ended up specializing in the technique I still use today. I’ve stayed close to it since: continuing education most years, and guest lectures back at Palmer College on chiropractic philosophy. My own research interests sit around the neurophysiology of passive muscle testing, how the body actually stores and releases stress.
These days I practice gentle, low-force chiropractic (Open Source Technique) in Salt Lake City, seeing patients from downtown, the Avenues, and the rest of the valley, plus a second location in Richfield. Fewer visits, no long-term contracts, and a plan that changes as you improve.
Outside the office, I’m a paraglider pilot and I run a small orchard-and-sheep farm in the Sevier Valley. Read more about that here if you’re curious who you’re booking with.
