Podiatrist

Brittany Garrett, PT, DPT

Born and raised in Riverton, Utah, Dr. Garrett developed a passion for movement and exercise at an early age through years of playing soccer. What began as a love for sports evolved into a fascination with the science of human movement and the body's remarkable ability to heal, adapt, and perform. Following an ankle injury sustained in a childhood car accident, as well as several sports-related injuries throughout her athletic career, she experienced firsthand the physical and emotional challenges of recovery. These experiences gave her a deep appreciation for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and restoring function, ultimately leading her to pursue a career in physical therapy.

Today, Dr. Garrett is passionate about helping patients restore function, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy most. She believes patient education is a vital part of the rehabilitation process and enjoys empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in their recovery and long-term health.
