About

Carrie Lynn Galyon, PT, DPT

Carrie was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada but moved to El Reno, Oklahoma at the age of six when her father was transferred for work. She received her Bachelor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Oklahoma. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Evidence in Motion so that she could further her education and provide the most updated treatments to her patients. Carrie has loved science and anatomy since she was a child and knew she wanted to become a Physical Therapist since sustaining an 8th grade sports injury to her knee that required PT. Following surgery, she continued to be very active in athletics including basketball, volleyball, track, gymnastics, and cheer. She has worked in outpatient orthopedics for much of her career and has had several roles in directing and leadership. As a Certified Clinical Instructor, Carrie prides herself on her relationships with other providers and physicians. Her primary interests are in orthopedics, including spinal dysfunctions and rehabilitation of upper and lower extremity impairments. She is trained in dry needling to enhance her ability to treat musculoskeletal injuries. She greatly enjoys working with people of all ages, returning them to their desired level of function. Carrie takes great pride in her compassion and empathy for every person and wants each patient to be treated like an individual. She does NOT believe in or practice “cookbook” therapy. All her family, other than her children, still reside in Canada. She enjoys spending time with her kids, including a set of twins, son and daughter, and another younger daughter. She is incredibly proud that her three children followed her footsteps with their talent in sports. Carrie enjoys fishing, being at the lake and any beach she can find. She also makes time for fitness. “It is so important to maintain as we age for flexibility, balance, and strength”. Carrie’s favorite quote is “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in
