As a child, Amy grew up playing many sports but decided to pursue basketball in high school. Freshman year she suffered an ACL tear in her right knee and completed nine months of PT. Almost a year later, she sustained a left ACL tear and repeated another round of PT. With the motivation and positive influence of her physical therapists, she was able to return to basketball for her junior and senior seasons. It was after her second round of PT that she realized that PT was the right career for her. Helping individuals achieve their goals has proven to be very rewarding for her. Witnessing athletes return to their prior level of competition or watching an individual demonstrate the ability to complete rigorous activities is very gratifying. Amy states that she loves having the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, even if the reward is small.

Brandon relocated to Wichita in 2014 with plans to attend Wichita State University’s DPT program. He met his wife, Erika, that year and got married in 2015. He was then accepted into the program in 2016. A year later, they welcomed their son, Bryant, into the world. In 2018, they added a third dog to the mix and moved for the third time in three years – titling their home “The Zoo” – because a real zoo’s got nothing on a toddler and three dogs! In 2019, Brandon graduated from Wichita State University with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and the adventure continues.

He loves being able to take the extra time with his patients to get to the bottom of what their pathology is and how he can help them get back to doing the things they love. He’s had several clinical rotations that have helped him improve his manual therapy skills, which is one of his favorite aspects of PT. Brandon believes the best way to help a person return to enjoying everyday life is by first listening to them, then educating them on how physical therapy can help, followed by giving them the tools they need and empowering them to succeed. Outside of physical therapy, he loves spending time with his wife and son, walking their dogs, and working on projects around the house.

As a life-long athlete with little regard for his own injury prevention, it seemed inevitable that Ross would end up in therapy – his path was less clear. First majoring in education before moving on to establish a career, and business, in marketing was eventful, but his passion laid with people, not pay. After spending months working to find his dream career, a serendipitous elbow break would lead to a summer in a PT clinic. From there it was clear.

With a passion for helping people, Ross’ focus and strength shines brightest when working on helping people’s body and mind to believe in the therapeutic process. For him, being able to tie a ponytail is just as exciting as an athlete’s first run post injury – life is a joy, and he works hard to get you past your injury and back to enjoying it! Ross spends his extra time running around on the soccer field or exploring the local gastronomic scene of Wichita with his wife, Codie. The two of them love travel and new adventures but look forward to welcoming their newest adventure in 2021.
