Physical Therapist
Aaron Evans, PT
Aaron Evans graduated with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2003 with a focus on rehabilitation for orthopedic and sports injuries. Before physical therapy school, Aaron attended Pittsburg State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in biology with an emphasis in physical science and kinesiology.
Aaron moved to Texas after graduating as he wanted a break from the ice and cold, and worked in the north Dallas area until he was able to get back to his smaller town roots and moved to Waxahachie in 2020, where he resides with his daughter, Hunter.
Aaron was born in Parsons, Kansas. As the son of two medical professionals, he always knew that he wanted to work in healthcare and help people. While working in the hospital in high school, he was given the opportunity to observe and interact in the various departments and fell in love with Physical Therapy. In high school, Aaron also discovered a passion for weight lifting and bodybuilding and feels all the minor and sometimes not-so-minor injuries he has incurred and rehabilitated have equipped him well to relate to his patients, understand their injury, and guide them back to their best life.
