His Story

Brad Grohovsky earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Western Kentucky University in 2008 before going on to complete his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Simmons University in Boston in 2011. He began his career treating a wide range of patients in outpatient orthopedic settings, developing a strong foundation in whole-body movement assessment and hands-on manual care. In 2015, Brad completed his Certification in Functional Manual Therapy® through the Institute of Physical Art, deepening his ability to identify and treat the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the site of symptoms.

Brad’s clinical focus centers on helping individuals navigate orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, and complex conditions that have not responded fully to traditional approaches. He is drawn to the cases that others find difficult – the patient who has tried everything, the injury that keeps coming back, the pain that doesn’t match a clean diagnosis. By taking a thorough, whole-person approach to evaluation and movement, Brad works to uncover what is driving dysfunction at its source and build treatment plans that are specific to how each patient moves, lives, and wants to perform.

Whether the goal is returning to competitive sport, improving performance while on the mountain, or simply moving through daily life without limitations, Brad is passionate about helping patients discover what is truly possible when the whole system is working together.
Brad first came to Steamboat Springs in 2015 to test for his CFMT certification and fell in love. Since then, he has returned many times to visit and work alongside the team at the clinic, and with each visit his heart felt pulled closer to this place. Now, with this opportunity to join IPA Physio Steamboat full-time, everything has come full circle. He is thrilled to plant roots in Steamboat and to become an active part of this community and all it has to offer.
