About Brandon

Brandon Crosdale, DPT, OCS, TPS, CPT, DipACLM is a board-certified Orthopedic Physical Therapist, Personal Trainer, Lifestyle Medicine and Pain Specialist who works with successful but health poor people ready to move beyond simply managing pain.

His work focuses on helping individuals rebuild strength, restore confidence in their bodies, and create the physical capacity to live well now – and for decades to come. A core part of his approach is helping clients understand pain in a way that reduces fear, restores a sense of safety in movement, and replaces survival-based strategies with confidence and control.

By integrating orthopedic physical therapy, performance-based strength training, and lifestyle medicine, Brandon helps people stop bracing, guarding, and hesitating – and start moving with clarity, resilience, and trust in their body again.

With over a decade of experience in physical therapy, strength training, and coaching, Brandon has spent the last several years working closely with Apple employees and their families in Austin. His clients are often successful, driven professionals – physicians, attorneys, founders, and executives – who are resourceful and capable, but time- and health-constrained. They aren’t looking for more appointments; they’re looking for a clear plan and care that fits their life.

Philosophy

Brandon’s philosophy is rooted in a simple belief: most people don’t need more treatment — they need better understanding, smarter progression, and care that respects their time and capacity.

Pain is rarely just a tissue problem, and strength is rarely just physical. Brandon approaches care by helping clients understand what’s happening in their body, why certain patterns persist, and how to move forward with intention rather than fear. Each plan is designed to restore confidence in movement, rebuild strength gradually, and support long-term function – not create dependence on endless visits.

Care is built to integrate seamlessly into real life. Sessions combine precise orthopedic assessment, strength and movement coaching, and practical lifestyle guidance to support recovery, resilience, and performance outside the clinic. Progress is measured by how clients move, feel, and show up in their lives – not by how often they need care.

The ultimate goal is independence: helping people move better, feel stronger, and trust their body again – often describing the result as feeling younger, not because time is reversed, but because capacity, ease, and confidence are restored.

Personal Life

Outside the clinic, Brandon is a husband and father. He follows a plant-based lifestyle, is sober, and is deeply interested in how behavior, environment, and communication shape long-term health.

These values inform how he practices – emphasizing sustainability, agency, and habits that support both performance and longevity.

Brandon’s work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation, performance, and healthspan. His goal is not simply to help people recover, but to help them build bodies they can rely on – now, and well into the future.
