Becky grew up in a small town outside of Wichita — Colwich, Kansas. She attended K-State and graduated with a degree in Kinesiology in 2020. She then went on to graduate school at Wichita State University and graduated with her Doctor of Physical Therapy. She worked for a year in Wagoner, Oklahoma, while her husband was finishing optometry school. They moved to Salina in June of 2024, and she started with Kansas Physical Therapy Partners. She is dry needling certified.

Core Values:

Empathy, kindness, respect, integrity, humility

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

Becky works more with the geriatric population. She would like to first address patients’ pain and then build strength to prevent pain from returning. She enjoys treating anything from the head to the toes.

Becky likes the teamwork atmosphere as well as the opportunities to learn and grow as a clinician. She truly enjoys working as an outpatient physical therapist, especially with older adults, because she gets to help people regain independence, mobility, and confidence in their everyday lives. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see someone go from struggling with basic activities to walking safely, managing stairs, or returning to hobbies they love. She appreciates the long-term relationships she builds with patients — they often share stories, laughter, and real human connection. Every person is different, and she enjoys the challenge of creating individualized plans that meet their specific goals and abilities. This clinic allows her to combine clinical knowledge with compassion, and it aligns with her core values of respect, patience, and making a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, baking, crocheting, and reading.
