About the practice
Adults and athletes should be healthy, active and pain-free
Osteopractic Physical Therapy and Pain Relief provides high quality, one-on-one, individualized physical therapy and fitness services to busy executives, professionals and athletes in chronic pain in Dallas and the surrounding areas.
Our goal is to help our clients live a life of freedom from reliance on pain medication and substances. That means treating the root of the problem rather than the symptom, giving you a full hour of undivided attention every visit, and teaching you enough to manage your own body between appointments.
It also means being honest about scope. Post-doctorate training in differential diagnosis exists so that “this is not a therapy problem, here is who you should see” is an answer you can actually get here.
The road here
Why this practice exists
Young beginnings
Brent's interest in physical therapy began as an injured young athlete. He spent a lot of time in PT trying to return to the sport of basketball. After an unsuccessful return due to chronic injuries, his passion grew — to help others heal and thrive.
Witnessing a reliance on opioids
After becoming a physical therapist, he practiced in the home health and orthopedic setting only to witness the impact of the opioid crisis. Patient after patient was being prescribed multiple medications which hampered their recovery time and even led to dependencies. That is where the passion for an alternative path to healing — through movement, assessment and retraining — took hold.
Post-doctorate training
Brent furthered his training by receiving his Diploma in Osteopractic after completing a rigorous, evidence-based post-doctorate training program specializing in the treatment of neuromuscular conditions with spinal and extremity manipulation, dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, and differential diagnosis.

The four things people tell me
“Pain is part of life”
When did pain become the norm? We empower you with education and individualized care to determine the root of your problem, break the pain cycle and get you back to being you.
“My only option is surgery”
With healthcare quality and satisfaction at an all-time low, we strive to raise the bar and provide high quality one-on-one care — a full hour of physical therapy and fitness services at the clinic, or from the comfort of your home, gym or office.
“I'm old, I'm supposed to hurt”
Pain does not simply show up with age — it is the result of injuries, muscle and skeletal misuse over time. Movement caused the pain to appear, and correct movement and coaching can help it go away.
“Nobody can help me”
We give you our full and undivided attention to identify underlying issues and develop a unique treatment plan tailored to you, to meet your goals with your own personal PT. We are honored to help you get back on track.
