Brandi graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2015 with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Prior to that, she attended the University of Great Falls where she finished her undergraduate degree in Biology, which she began at Clark College.

Brandi’s approach to treatment is a combination of manual techniques, functional exercise and education to enhance outcomes throughout the rehabilitation process. She works well with her team members to address any and all concerns her patients may have, with emphasis on open communication with all parties involved and active participation by her patients. Her goals are the same as her patients’: to return them to their active lifestyles prior to injury.

In addition to patient care, Brandi enjoys her role as Clinic Director and has furthered her education as a Physical Therapist by becoming an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) and by earning her ASTYM certification. In addition, she is working towards becoming a Certified Manual Physical Therapist (CMPT).

In her spare time, Brandi’s passion is running, which stems from her years of competing in collegiate cross country and track. She also enjoys rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking and wakesurfing.
