Meet SoFLo PT's Founder Dr. Carson Kutuchief!

In over 11 years of practice, Dr. Carson Kutuchief has become one of South Florida's most reputable Physical Therapist specializing in orthopedic surgical and non-surgical injuries.
Kutuchief, originally from Akron, Ohio, graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2005 with a Bachelors degree in Allied Health Sciences. He then continued on to Graduate school where he was awarded a Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Nova Southeastern University in 2010.
Dr. Kutuchief's passion for orthopedics motivated him to pursue becoming a Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), a specialtyrecognized by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties as individuals whose clinicalspecialization in orthopedicphysical therapy demonstrates knowledge, skill, and experience exceeding that of an entry level physical therapist. He is also acertified orthopedic manual therapist (COMT) through the Maitland Australian Schooling. This certification is considered the pinnacle of modern day Orthopedic Manual Therapy for treatment of the spine and peripheral (arm and leg) conditions using assessment and treatment of the patient's signs and symptoms to construct a plan of care. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and trained in using Graston technique (a soft tissue instrument used in manual therapy).
After practicing as a clinician for 4 years and managing a clinic for 1 year, Dr. Kutuchief respectfully ventured out independently to pursue his dream of opening up his own Sports Orthopedic Clinic in the summer of 2016. “I love my job, I have the chance to help people in pain using my hands and knowledge of the body, I think people are often surprised of what they are capable of doing. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient return to the activity or sport they are passionate about."
Kutuchief has a passion for weight training, basketball, stand up paddle boarding, and enjoying the beaches and vibrant lifestyle SoFlo offers with friends and family.
