As Clinic Manager of our Burien location, Dr. Hendryx balances leadership and patient care. She manages daily operations while maintaining a full caseload, ensuring patients receive both high-quality treatment and a welcoming clinic environment.
Why Physical Therapy?
For Dr. Hendryx, physical therapy is about more than treatment—it’s about connection. She values the unique opportunity PTs have to spend time with patients, understand what motivates them, and help them reclaim movement and activity. Guided by her faith, she views her work as a way to serve her community through both skill and compassion.
Approach to Care
Dr. Hendryx has a special interest in working with runners, as well as patients with TMD, foot, and ankle conditions. With a strong background in manual therapy, she blends hands-on techniques with patient education and movement retraining. Her philosophy is rooted in empowerment: helping patients build independence, resilience, and confidence in their bodies.
Patient Impact
One of her most memorable cases involved a mother living with persistent pain who felt unable to care for her young children. After working together, this patient was able to return to play and fully engage in family life—later introducing Dr. Hendryx to her kids as “the PT who helped her get her life back.”
