I’m Dr. Garrett!

Founder of Nordstick.

I’ve been a physical therapist for years, helping over 10,000 clients.

Over that time, I’ve noticed some common injuries that people deal with repeatedly. The most common ones I see are:

Low back pain

Hamstring strains

Achilles injuries

Knee pain

ACL injuries

Dr Garrett DrumHeller

PT & Nordstick Founder

In the clinic, we had success rehabbing people back to doing the things they wanted to do. But every time I discharged someone, they would come back a few months later because the same issues flared up again.

I loved helping these people, but I felt bad that they had to keep coming back.

As a physical therapist, all I could do was provide them with a yellow theraband or some bodyweight exercises.

In 2019, I decided to do something about it.

My clients have tried:

Body weight exercises at home—but it got boring and can only take you so far

Gym memberships—but life got busy and the subscription piles up

Buy multiple equipment—but this became expensive and consumed a ton of space

Don’t get me wrong—these are all good things.

I did my best to encourage people and give them the tools they needed, but I knew there had to be a better way.

Fitness and health shouldn’t be gated by price.

People shouldn’t have to spend $1,500–$2,000 to get a home gym or drive to a facility just to stay active. You should have equipment that grows with you, is safe, targets the muscles that break down most often, and delivers amazing results.

That’s what led me to create Nordstick. At first, we focused on affordable, effective home workout solutions.

Over 250,000 units later, we’ve made a big impact. But that only helped with one thing.

I wanted to create an all-in-one solution for my clients—something that could:

Help no matter what their injury was

Strengthen their quads, calves, hamstrings, glutes, and low back

Reduce their risk of future injury

Build muscle and burn fat in 15 minutes a day!

These are all muscles that research shows break down over time, and they’re critical to living an active, pain-free life. A lot of injuries are well-researched and happen over and over again for the same reasons.

But This Is Where It Gets Tricky...

Hamstring strains, for example, are so common because hamstrings are hard to train.

Nordic curls are one of the best ways to strengthen them, but they’re hard and intimidating, especially for beginners.

If someone’s never trained their hamstrings, they get discouraged quickly.

And to be able to train all the necessary muscles, you either need a ton of equipment that’s expensive and takes up a ton of space or get a gym membership that requires you to go out of your way for a workout.

That's why we built the NordBench

The NordBench is an all-in-one solution that strengthens every key area of the lower body in a compact way.

It has eight levels of progression to meet people where they’re at and help them objectively progress.

With the NordBench, you don’t need an entire gym or multiple pieces of equipment.

It’s smaller than a suitcase, fits into your life, and is under $400—less than the cost of an annual gym membership.
