Dr. Kendall Pieper, DPT, PT

Dr. Kendall hails from Tularosa New Mexico, between Alamogordo and Ruidoso. He attended Tularosa High School where he graduated in 2015. He then attended New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. Immediately after that he was accepted to the doctor of physical therapy program at the University of Texas at El Paso in 2023.

Dr. Kendall is currently in the residency and fellowship program at the Manual Therapy Institute and is on pace to complete his extensive manual therapy training by 2028. He was a student intern at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy while he was completing physical therapy school, so he has had a head start on advancing his manual therapy skills compared to his peers.

Dr. Kendall chose to pursue manual physical therapy because he wanted to be able to help people that suffered from injuries related to manual labor. He watched his parents deal with injuries and always wanted to better help them.

When not treating patients, he enjoys being outdoors hunting, fishing, and camping. He also loves traveling to Cozumel, Cayman Islands, and Jamaica, Cloudcroft, and Colorado.
