Meet Dr. Walker

Brad Walker, P.T.

Brad Walker is originally from Kingsville, Texas. He is the proud father of two very remarkable children, Taylor and Ryan. His priority is spending quality time with his loved ones. Brad has a passion for family and fitness. He enjoys working out, kickboxing, hunting, fishing and the great outdoors.

He began his educational career with a desire to go to law school. He attended Texas A&M Corpus Christi focusing his undergraduate studies on Criminal Justice.

During this time, his grandfather sustained a stroke. Brad devoted great care and attention to his grandfather as he progressed through his rehabilitation. The outcome of this personal and trying situation was finding his heart was not in law, but in the field of Physical Therapy.

He began working on his prerequisites and applied for Physical Therapy school. He was accepted to Texas State University and graduated with a Masters in Physical Therapy in 2004.

Practicing as a licensed Physical Therapist for over 16 years, he has expanded his education to include specializing in Orthopedic Physical Therapy. A long time dream to one day open his own business came to fruition in 2020. After years of hard work, intense focus and dedication, he is now the owner of his first private clinic.

Brad’s vision is to share his life long commitment to total wellness and longevity through well trained and concentrated care. We will diligently work to return you to an above optimal and healthy existence.
