Meet The Team

Every athlete at Valen works directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No aides. No handoffs.

A man appears to be a physical therapist or chiropractor adjusting a patient's leg during a therapy session in a clinical setting. The patient is lying on a medical examination table, and both are in a room with a dark textured wall.
A boy in athletic clothing and a backwards cap is holding a medicine ball above his head, practicing a workout while a man in a t-shirt and shorts watches nearby on an indoor turf field.

Keagan started Valen because he kept seeing the same problem, athletes getting cleared, sent back to the field, and breaking down again. Not because they were unlucky, but because nobody built them back the right way.

His approach combines hands-on physical therapy, objective testing, and strength-based training to find the real problem and fix it, not just manage it. Every athlete leaves with a clear plan, a timeline, and a provider who's with them the entire way.
