Education & Background: Reno's Hometown Physical Therapist

Brenden earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. He has deep roots in the Reno community, having moved here in 2016 to attend the University of Nevada, Reno, where he completed his bachelor's degree in Community Health Science with a specialization in Kinesiology.

After completing his doctorate in Utah, Brenden returned to Reno with a clear goal: to serve the local community with evidence-based, patient-focused physical therapy.

His experience allows him to tailor treatment plans that translate directly to real-world activities and high-level performance.

Advanced Treatment Techniques: Dry Needling & Manual Therapy

Brenden is dry needling certified, an advanced technique he uses to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery.

Conditions Treated with Dry Needling

Combined with skilled manual therapy, dry needling allows Brenden to address pain and movement restrictions at their source, making it an excellent option for:

• Sports injuries

• Chronic pain

• Overuse conditions

Every session is customized to the individual, ensuring patients receive care that is specific to their goals and lifestyle.

A Patient-First Philosophy

At the core of Brenden's practice is a strong belief in the provider-patient relationship. He prioritizes trust, clear communication, and a comfortable, stress-free environment.

Brenden takes the time to listen, educate, and collaborate with his patients so they feel confident and supported throughout their physical therapy journey.

Life in Reno: Beyond the Clinic

Outside the clinic, Brenden enjoys staying active in the gym, fly fishing, golfing, and taking advantage of everything the Reno-Tahoe area has to offer.
