Brandon Nakano
PT, DPTMY STORY
Brandon grew up in sunny Southern California, where his family fostered his love for sports and passion for the outdoors from an early age. However, his active lifestyle also led to multiple injuries throughout his youth. His interest in physical therapy began after experiencing a series of ankle sprains as a high school volleyball player. He was amazed by how his physical therapists kept him healthy enough to compete through both high school and club seasons.
Carrying his passion into college, Brandon developed a love for helping others move as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. After several years in the fitness industry, he felt a deeper calling to help people in their movement and recovery, leading him to pursue a career in physical therapy.
