Brad Rickert, DPT, is the Clinical Coordinator and a highly trained physical therapist at Bowman Physical Therapy in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston and Friendswood, Texas. He specializes in neck, back, shoulder, hip, and knee injuries and has expertise in neurologic physical therapy.
Brad attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, graduating with a degree in kinesiology pre-professional. He then received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.
He also completed training at Owens Recovery Science to become a certified Personalized Blood Flow Restriction (PBFR) provider.
Brad’s passion for the field was nurtured years ago, as he comes from a long line of physical therapists. A love of sports also drives him. The desire to work with athletes, helping them stay healthy and improve their performance, only strengthened his love of physical therapy.
“The human body is incredibly strong and adaptable. We all have the ability to learn and change after an injury, and there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone return to the sport or activity they love.”
