Nicholas "Nick" Sanders

I just found out of Dr. Nick's passing, my heart breaks for his family. He helped me so much with my physical struggles and I will be ever so grateful and honored to have known him.

We were very saddened to learn that Dr. Nick passed away. Several years ago, Dr. Nick helped Stephen´s ankle recover so he could continue playing baseball. Dr. Nick also helped Sean´s throwing arm recover so he could continue to be the quarter-back on his High School football team. Dr. Nick was always very kind, helpful, and supportive. We will always be very grateful to Dr. Nick for the exceptional care that he provided. Our thoughts and prayers are with Amanda, Sydney, Mac, and Dr. Nick´s entire family.

Sal and Mary Ann,
When I heard this news about Nick my heart broke for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My condolences to you, his family, Elle and her family and to all who have been touched by Nick's life and love.

My deepest sympathy and love for the whole Sanders family. I will always remember Nick's friendly smiling face.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.

Amanda, I'm so sorry. May Nick's memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Our brief time together meant a lot to me.
All best wishes sending so much love and prayers

I knew Nick as a physical therapy patient for my migraines, dating back over a decade to Rehabilitex. To say he was my migraine savior is an understatement. Therapy appointments very quickly started to include life updates. He worked through both of my pregnancies and watched my kids grow at Phyt when they joined for appointments. In exchange, I got to hear all about his beautiful wife, the birth of their two wonderful kids and all their big growth updates and travels.

As a healthcare professional myself, Nick always told me I could stop spending money on appointments and learn how to treat myself, but I didn´t as I never hesitated he wouldn´t be there. Guess I´ll have to study up now... He will be missed for soo much more than what seems like the simplest physical therapy appointment.

Sending all my strength and healing to his wife, kids and entire family.

Nick was one of my instructors for the Dry Needling course in October 2023 in Quincy MA. He was very friendly, passionate, professional, and knowledgeable. On the first day of class, he was very open to tell us that he had been dealing with some health issues but was on track to recovery. He had a very optimistic outlook on life and enjoyed sharing with us cool and funny stories. At the end of the class, he was giving away needles for us to take home to practice. Although I wasn't flying anywhere after the class, I still jokingly said to him that I'll give him a call and have him get me if I get stopped by the TSA for carrying needles. He replied jokingly too that in that case I would say I don't know you. We laughed it off and said our byes. I will continue to remember Nick and cherish the brief but memorable interactions we had.

I came to see Nick for therapy early 2017. I was so impressed with his skill, knowledge, dedication and compassion. When he told me how he loved to fish I thought what a really cool and interesting guy. I cannot express how sad I am to hear of the passing of this gentle and vibrant young man. I will keep Amanda and the children in my prayers. Know that Nick will never be forgotten.

I met Nick at Crossfit Cadre what a great guy even when I moved farther south I still made appointments and drove up to see him .

I met Nick when I couldn't find relief from my hip/foot pain. This was in 2016, when his office was either in a yoga studio or a crossfit. He was like my own person Dr.House. Always thinking, always trying to find the root of the issue. Always answering my crazy Why does this hurt?! texts with patience. He made me laugh. He talked about his dreams, both with the business and how excited he was to be marrying Amanda. They say people come into your life for a reason a season or a lifetime. He came into mine for all three. So grateful for him.

My sympathy and prayers for Nick's family and friends. I know he was a blessing to those who shared his life. So many wonderful memories! I'm praying God will comfort you and give you peace.

I am heartsick for your loss and send prayers for your family.

So sorry to hear such sad news. I did not have the honor to know Nicholas, but knowing his dad, Sal, there is no doubt that he was an extraordinary person. The obituary gave me a glimpse of what a wonderful person he was. My deepest sympathies are with Nick´s entire family.

Amanda, Maryann and Sal and family members. We are heartbroken to hear Nicholas passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting our cousin Nicholas & Amanda on their wedding day. Our sincere condolences to you all. Rest In Peace Nicholas - Forever in our hearts - Angie & Frank Calabrese & family (Toronto)

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

Prayers to Nicks family. I will never forget you; He helped me in so many ways. I will continually pray for his family.

Nick was our hero. He gave my mom her life back and helped me through so many tough times. Words cannot express how important and wonderful he was and how much he meant to me and my family.

Nick´s passing is a tragic loss to his young family, parents, extended family and the PHYT family of staff and clients. I had the pleasure of knowing Nick for only a brief couple of years but he touched my life and helped me through some physical challenges. My deepest sympathies to Amanda, Sydney, Mac, and Nick´s family and friends.

My heart breaks over the loss of Nick to the world. He was a soul who embodied the essence of life and love and passed it on to everyone he met. I met Nick when he was interning with Frank at Rehabilitex where I was a permanent patient with dystonia. He brought me along when he started PhytforFunction and kept me vigorously racing sailboats during the summer and making maple syrup during the winter with his skillful cutting edge treatments throughout my seventh decade of life. He shared my enjoyment of drinking maple sap and was going to tap his own maple tree. He will be so missed by so many. I send my deep love and care to the Sanders family who keep his legacy alive.

Praying for strength and comfort in this sorrowful time for the Sanders family. May you find peace and happiness in the incredible memories you have of Nick and may his legacy be carried on through his beautiful children. My heart truly goes out to you all. May God wrap his arms around you and stay by your side to guide you through this difficult time.

Nick was one of the nicest guys I've known!! His smile has always been contagious. He made this world a better place, his love for others was obvious in all he did. His loss is tragic in so many ways. May his family and friends find comfort in God and each other at this time. Praying for all of you!!!!

We had the pleasure of showing you and Amanda some of our beautiful country when you visited Australia. I also remember our very first trip to Ohio going with your family to watch you play football. Being of the team dinner cook up Spaghetti and meatballs balls for the whole team.

Amanda you and your beautiful family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time may the Lord Jesus carry you and guide you. Sending hugs and love to you all. Our sincere condolences we hope this gives you some comfort. Rest in Peace Nick safe in the arm of Jesus we will never forget you, you remain in our hearts forever.

Summers on the farm, creek fishing, tag, running around your parents house, driving GMa crazy, fishing trips and year later those cousin summers became core memories to who we all became. At the center of that was you...always trying to make the best of everything, always seeing the best in things and later choosing a profession where you could educate and heal. I was NOT surprised! Seeing you grow into a Husband and Father was probably my favorite of them all. I am glad to have known you, loved you and call you family. We love and will miss you very much Nicky!

Nick was a kind hearted guy who spoke about his Children and wife often in the short few days I spent learning from him at a PT conference. I am heart broken to hear the news of his passing and pray God brings peace to all who are close to Nick. May his love shine through the days ahead to come.

Years ago Nick graciously encouraged and supported me to be my best self as I joined the IDN teaching team. For me Nick will always be part of the fabric of IDN. I am lucky to have learned from and with Nick as IDN team members. Later, it was my absolute pleasure to offer suggestions for Nick and Amanda as they planned their honeymoon adventure to my home land of Aotearoa New Zealand. The joy on their faces during this adventure showed they were making core memories with each other. In his too short a time here on earth it has been an honour to call Nick a friend. Nick was a genuinely good human. Let the memories never fade. Sincere condolences Amanda Sydney and Mac

Deepest condolences to the Sanders family. Prayers of comfort for your grief.
Amelia Shrader Hanna and Family

Amanda you and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending my hugs to you hope this gives you some comfort Amanda. Alice Melnik

I am so devastated to learn of Nicks passing.
I met Nick a few years ago at a local Yoga studio where he was renting space for his PT practice.
He was recommended to me by the yoga studio owner.
I could barely walk the day of my first appointment with him.
By the end of my appointment, I comfortably walked out of the office.
I never looked back after that day & was a regular client after that to present time.
Nick was such a kind & genuine soul & he had a true gift & instinct for helping people that I will always remember & cherish.
I pray for healing & peace for his family
Rest in heavenly peace, Nick. You will be forever missed
