MEET DR. BRADEN SCHROEDER THIS MONTH’S TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
for seven years with his wife and four children. Before that, however, he called a couple other states home as well.
Braden was born and raised in Moscow, Idaho — a small college town in the state’s panhandle. However, he traveled thousands of miles from his hometown to earn his undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. After that, he moved to Arizona to pursue a master’s degree in biomedical science from Midwestern University before completing his education at A.T. Still University, where he received his doctorate in physical therapy. Braden joined the Mission PT team in November 2019, and since then, he has enjoyed being a part of the team. He loves helping our patients by assessing and treating injuries and functional impairments, increasing patients’ strength and mobility, and improving their overall health and quality of life so they can live with little to no pain. His favorite part of the job is seeing patients get out of pain and return to the activities that they love.
As mentioned before, Braden is a huge ice hockey fan. He loves both playing it and watching it, and his favorite team is the Chicago Blackhawks. He also loves watching and playing golf. However, he spends most of his spare time away from the office with his family. We’re so happy to have experienced physical therapists like Dr. Braden Schroeder on our team at Mission PT, and we look forward to seeing how he’ll continue to serve our patients.
Though he may be an ice hockey fan, Dr. Braden Schroeder, one of our incredible physical therapists here at Mission PT, is still proud to call Arizona his home. Braden has lived in Arizona
