Scott Barnhardt
Physical Therapist
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24 NIV
As a physical therapist, I have had the privilege to serve people through some of the more challenging times in their lives. I believe that God has called me to this profession and equipped me with the skills and knowledge to help a wide variety of individuals. Partnering with my patients to help them through rehabilitating injury has truly been a joy.
As I’ve grown personally and professionally, God has shown me that there is always so much more to learn, and this has been humbling. I’m excited to work at Valley in an integrated multidisciplinary team.
Each person can have many factors and needs affecting their rehabilitation progress and health goals. I look forward to bringing together the physical needs of the patient, such as exercise, movement, nutrition, and sleep, to optimize our patient’s mental health.
