About Kyle Buckham
Kyle is originally from Bellingham, WA and completed his undergraduate degree at Whitman College. While at Whitman, he played varsity baseball and earned a Bachelors in Biology. During his time at Whitman, Kyle yearned to find a career that combined his appreciation and aptitude for the hard sciences, with his lifelong love of sports and being active. Physical therapy proved to be a perfect match! Kyle completed the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Emory University, where he graduated in 2019 with highest honors.
Kyle strives to provide an individualized, eclectic approach to treating patients, which takes into account the unique bio-psychosocial factors that shape each patient’s life experience. His treatment approach involves utilizing advanced manual therapy techniques including soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and joint manipulation to help his patient experience less pain and move better. His favorite part of therapy is providing an individualized exercise program that addresses a patient’s weaknesses and helps them reach their full physical potential. While Kyle enjoys treating patients of all activity levels and physical abilities, he is especially interested in Sport’s Rehabilitation and athletic performance. In 2020, he finished a post-graduate training program in sports physical therapy with MTI, followed by a Fellowship program in orthopedic manual physical therapy in 2021.
In his free time, Kyle enjoys playing all types of sports, lifting weights, hiking/backpacking, skiing, and biking.
