Dr. Brielle Okenfuss, PT, DPT, CSCS
Originally from St. Louis, my introduction to physical therapy began as a competitive gymnast. After injuries led to my retirement from the sport at 17, I transitioned into coaching and discovered a growing passion for strength training, injury recovery, and movement optimization.
Over the next seven years, I coached gymnasts of all levels while earning a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Movement Science and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Missouri State University. I also became a NASM certified personal trainer and NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, gaining experience in both personal training and group fitness environments.
Over the years, I’ve explored a wide range of training styles-including bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrossFit, yoga, HYROX, and Pilates-inspired movement. I believe there’s value in adapting your training to meet your body’s evolving needs, with solid movement patterns as the foundation.
In 2024, I relocated to Dallas as a travel physical therapist and gained firsthand experience working in high volume, insurance based clinics. l recognized the need for something more personalized-care that prioritizes the individual, not the numbers. This drove me to bring concierge-style, one-on-one care to athletes and active individuals.
Today, I specialize in helping these athletes and active individuals recover from injuries, build resilience, and perform at their best. My mission is to empower people to better understand their bodies and move with confidence. I’m excited to help you move, feel, and perform better!

"Brielle is truly phenomenal. She has been working with my daughter for the last 10 weeks, and I am truly blown away by her knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail and dedication to her patients. I am most impressed by the individualized care plan she created for my daughter with targeted PT exercises which she reviews and updates regularly.
