Carrie HildeBrand
PT, DPT

Carrie performs evaluations and works with patients to develop a plan to regain mobility, strength, and function and achieve their personal goals. She uses her expertise in chronic pain to defuse fear of movement and employs manual therapy and Dry Needling to reduce pain and restore function. Her main goal is always working to help patients gain strength because strength is protective and strength is the magic that keeps us moving!

She is a Kansas State University alumni receiving a bachelors degree in Biology in 1996 and received her Masters Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City in 1998. She currently resides in Stafford with her husband Jason where they have raised 5 children alongside crops and cattle.
Carrie most enjoys helping people understand that Movement truly is Medicine and removing any barriers to an active lifestyle such as pain or joint dysfunction so they can be empowered to continue that healthy lifestyle
Carrie is powered by her faith, a desire to serve others and to give her best at everything she attempts. She loves growth and desires to be a life-long learner.
Carrie enjoys treating musculoskeletal problems such as rotator cuff injuries, back and neck pain, headaches, and plantar fasciitis. She also enjoys post-surgical rehabilitation. She may get the most joy out of treating balance issues and preventing frailty one older adult at a time!
