Kennedie Kieffer Email and Phone Number

My name is Kennedie Kieffer, PTA. I was born and raised in Chillicothe, Missouri, where I attended Chillicothe High School. Upon graduation, I signed to play collegiate basketball at North Central Missouri College and attended school there for two years. I received my acceptance into Missouri Western’s Physical Therapy Assistant Program in the Spring of 2021 and transferred in order to achieve my professional dream of working in the specialty area of physical therapy. I graduated with an Associate’s Degree for a Physical Therapy Assistant in the summer of 2023. After passing the Missouri PTA board exam in July, I accepted a position at Performance Plus Rehabilitation Center. I am currently in my final semester before earning my Bachelor's Degree in Health and Exercise Science while working part time as a PTA. Being an avid athlete myself, I have struggled with my fair share of injuries, which is what sparked my initial interest in physical therapy. Missouri Western’s Physical Therapy Assistant Program has prepared me with exceptional knowledge in the field. Since my completion of the program, I feel fully capable and ready to help my future patients accomplish their goals while personalizing each patient’s plan of care. It is my goal to help them achieve the best quality of life possible, even after their debilitation!The Health and Exercise Science degree I am now working on finishing will increase the knowledge I have as a PTA. I am able to customize patient's exercise routine based on their debilities and health level. This will provide the best outcomes for all of my patient's in improving their overall health and quality of life. I am excited for this new chapter of my life and look forward to improving all of my patient's lives!
