It all begins with an idea.

About Nate & BDS Methods
Nate Tellen is the founder of BDS Methods in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, are a private training and recovery space built on personal experience, clinical knowledge, and a relentless belief in human potential.

Born with a congenital condition that required years of medical intervention, Nate eventually chose to amputate his foot at 19. Faced with limited expectations from traditional physical therapy, he took it upon himself to relearn how to walk, train, and ultimately thrive. That journey became the foundation of his life’s work: using movement as medicine and proving what’s possible when you take ownership of your body.

Our training space itself is intentionally small, private, and inclusive.

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent looking to stay active, or someone managing chronic pain, the goal is the same: to give you the confidence, capacity, and community to live fully—without being defined by your pain.
