About Brad:
As the owner of Sports Rehab Consulting, Brad has been a practicing physio for over 15 years. He earned his undergraduate degree in Sport Science from the University of Kansas and proceeded to graduate with his Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2005. He is recognized as a board certified Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) through the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Utilizing the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) model and the ConnectTherapy assessment/treatment framework developed by Dr. Linda-Joy Lee, Brad specializes in treating orthopedic injuries and sports specific rehabilitation with a very comprehensive approach to correcting movement dysfunction. He has an extensive history of working with patients and athletes ranging from adolescence age to the professional level. While he has treated patients with a wide variety of pathologies, he has considerable experience treating upper and lower extremity post surgical cases, including significant time working with arthroscopic and open hip procedures. He has collaborated with local orthopedic physicians to create post-operative rehabilitation protocols for arthroscopic labral repair/reconstructions and for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) surgeries. He has also co-presented a peer talk in coordination with Dr. Brian White reviewing “Current Concepts for Hip Scopes and Labral Repairs/Reconstructions”

Brad’s passion in the physical therapy field is treating the “whole” individual in a comprehensive manner that utilizes his biomechanics background to analyze how multiple moving segments combined with the integration of individual body systems, especially the nervous system, contribute to the overall health of the athlete. Looking at the body as a high demanding, complex machine allows him to treat the entire body as a whole unit, versus treating the “affected” segment only. Brad’s goal is to not only to relieve pain and restore normal body function, but to enhance the athlete’s performance by optimizing their body’s ability to handle the stresses incurred during their sport. Only when the body is working at its most efficient state, is it able to achieve peak performance.
