Adam Quire, PT, DPT, is a dynamic physical therapist and Clinical Training Manager based in Boulder, Colorado, with more than a decade of experience spanning direct patient care, rehabilitation technology, and clinical education. Currently with Lifeward, Adam specializes in training healthcare professionals and supporting patients in the use of advanced assistive technologies, including robotic exoskeletons designed for individuals with spinal cord injuries. His work sits at the intersection of clinical care and innovation, where he combines his passion for rehabilitation with a strong focus on improving patient mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Adam began his career in traditional clinical settings, providing care in both outpatient orthopedics and home health environments.

He later transitioned into the field of complex rehabilitation technology, serving as a Specialty Account Manager with Numotion, where he expanded his expertise into client success, sales, and relationship management. This shift allowed him to broaden his impact beyond individual patient care, working closely with clinicians, healthcare systems, and decision-makers to deliver meaningful solutions.
In his current role, Adam leads clinical training initiatives across a wide geographic territory, educating therapists and healthcare teams on the integration of exoskeleton technology into rehabilitation programs. He conducts patient screenings, facilitates device fittings, and collaborates with providers to optimize outcomes for individuals who have experienced life-altering neurological injuries. Known for his strong communication skills and ability to bridge clinical and technical knowledge, Adam is also an active educator who has lectured at physical therapy programs nationwide. His career reflects a commitment to innovation, service, and advancing the future of rehabilitative care.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
I really love working with other physical therapists in such a meaningful way. In some ways, not to be too hyperbolic, but it kind of feels like we get to perform miracles a little bit with this technology, and allowing someone who's essentially been told they won't walk again to have a tool that will allow them to stand and walk again is just wonderful. It can be very emotional for the family and the person receiving the device, and everybody in the room when that happens, so it's just really fun, and it's unbelievably fulfilling for me. It's really one of the main reasons I wanted to get into physical therapy in the first place, to make that sort of impact. My role is largely remote when someone reaches out to us, but once they're ready to try the exoskeleton for the first time, that's where I travel to their clinic site, and I bring my Rewalk with me, and size them for it, and then have them try it out. If that goes well and everyone's on board, then we provide them with their device that they will ultimately keep and take home with them, and I'm there for that, and I put it together for them. That travel lifestyle's not for everybody, but I quite enjoy it, so that's also an added benefit. I just get to see all kinds of places around the country that I probably wouldn't necessarily seek out on my own if I were still in the clinic.
