ABOUT MCKAYLA

McKayla achieved her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2018 from Briar Cliff University after 4 years of playing college basketball for the Coyotes at the University of South Dakota. During her time as a college athlete, she battled back-to-back ACL surgeries, which inspired her to pursue a career in physical therapy. The first hand rehab experience gave her a level of empathy for her patients that cannot be taught. She loves exploring ways the human body can heal itself and incorporating creative solutions to return patients to pain free function. Along with teaching patients to heal the physical functions of the body, McKayla is also skilled in treating concussions and vestibular dysfunctions such as vertigo.

Outside of work, McKayla and her husband Kevin love taking their 3 dogs, Kida, Captain, and Samson, hiking, to the park, or swimming. When she is not wrangling her pack of dogs, she enjoys home improvement projects, paddle boarding, intramural league sports of all kinds, and reading. And during all these activities, you will undoubtably hear her singing along to all the songs on the radio from all genres (though Taylor Swift and Disney are her favorites!)
