Hi, I'm Dr. Tom Kent, PT, DPT. I'm the physical therapist you'll actually be working with at Back Nine — not an aide, not a rotating cast of providers, just me, every visit.

I've been in orthopedic physical therapy since 2018, and over that time I've treated just about everything: athletes working through sports injuries, golfers dealing with swing-related pain, people managing chronic low back or joint pain that's never fully resolved, and patients dealing with headaches and TMJ issues that most people don't realize a PT can help with. I'm TPI-Certified through the Titleist Performance Institute for golf-specific care, and certified in dry needling as one of the tools I use to help patients move and feel better faster.

What sets Back Nine apart is simple: I don't take insurance, which means I don't answer to anyone but you. No visit caps, no pre-approved treatment plans, no rushing you out the door in fifteen minutes. Just a plan built around what's actually going on with your body, and enough time in each session to actually work on it.
