Meet Ben

Owner / Physical Therapist


Ben is a Richmond-based physical therapist who originally hails from Arlington, Virginia. Since moving to Richmond in 2016, he’s made the city his home and the heart of his practice. He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2019 and has been helping heal Richmond ever since!


With a lifelong passion for movement and wellness, Ben lives by the philosophy of continuous self-improvement—striving to be just a little better every day. He brings that same mindset to his work, empowering others with the tools and knowledge to take control of their own health and wellbeing.


Ben believes deeply in the power of movement not just as a form of exercise or therapy, but as a meaningful way for people to connect. Whether it’s through shared activity, body language, or physical presence, he sees movement as a powerful bridge between individuals. His compassionate and personalized approach makes every patient feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their unique journey to wellness.


Ben and his wife Aubri have two Irish setter sisters named Bunny and Birdie, AND a senior lab named Waldo.

In only 3 sessions (so far) Ben and Bend have helped me get my lower back into more properly working order. It's helped immensely with my daily life and exercise.

I've been working with Ben for hip mobility and general strength and have had improvement. I like being able to work one on one. Ben has so much empathy, and he listens to my concerns and cheers me on when I'm feeling down about my situation. He is a great asset that I don't mind traveling for!

Ben’s approach to rehab is game changing. After 6 months of minimal progress with traditional PT his strength based program had me rebuilding in 90 days. I would be sore (in a good way) the days following our sessions and it felt like he was really able to target problem areas. Absolutely worth checking out.
