After receiving her BA in psychology from Denver University in 2004, Niki became a certified Pilates instructor for a local PT clinic where she was exposed to the specialty of pelvic health and collaborated with pelvic health PTs to establish safe exercise programs for people experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, surgical recovery and pregnancy. She received her DPT from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in 2013. Upon graduation, Niki was the recipient of the Mary Gosnell Award for Clinical Excellence.

Dr. Becca Campbell, DPT

Rebecca “Becca” Campbell graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus and with her B.S. from The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to medical school she worked with children with developmental differences which inspired her holistic yet evidence-based approach to patient care.

Becca has advanced training in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, but enjoys treating a variety of diagnoses– her specialties and personal favorites include full spectrum care for the pregnant and postpartum period as well as Temporomandibular joint dysfunction. No matter what she’s treating, she’s passionate about integrating the mind-body connection into patient care for long-lasting results. Currently she is working on a dual-certification for sexuality counseling and education to better address the often overlooked component of sexual medicine within pelvic health.

While she could not be happier to have put down roots in Colorado, she is originally from Texas and loves to use a little southern hospitality to help her patients feel at home during their therapeutic journey. When Becca’s not in clinic you may find her trying out new recipes or hiking trails, bird-watching, or traveling anywhere rich in culture and good food.

Rachel Brady, Patient Care Coordinator

Rachel was born and raised in Colorado. She went away for some time, but found her way back about 5 years ago. The mountains and being closer to family drew her back! She is currently obtaining her Associate of Science Degree and will be in the pursuit of becoming a Radiology Technologist. She has a loving partner and an amazing 6 year old son who she enjoys having kitchen dance parties with, exploring outside, and playing games with. In her spare time, she enjoys performing, listening to live music, trying new local restaurants, and learning about new things through reading or listening to podcasts.
 
She received A Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography, and she also holds ECE teaching credentials in the state of Colorado and spent many years as an Early Childhood Educator before stepping away to go back to school. She currently teaches dance and movement to people of all ages and is working to grow a mindful movement education program with the company members of local dance group, Radical Love Movement. As a dancer and movement educator, she enjoys learning about the body and how it works and is very interested in the health and longevity that movement and mind/body awareness brings. It only makes sense that she was drawn to Dr. Niki and her practice, and is thrilled to be able to work and learn in an environment that cares so deeply about the wellness of their clients!

Brianna Obert, MSPT, CLT

Brianna has been a Physical Therapist since 2004 when she received her degree from Ithaca College in upstate New York.  She moved to Colorado after graduating and began her career as a general orthopedic therapist, though quickly pursued continuing education courses to begin to specialize in the care of cancer patients with a passion for the treatment of breast cancer patients.  In 2011, she started working at Oncology Rehab where she worked exclusively with oncology patients with her specialty in the treatment of breast cancer patients and in providing yoga-based rehab for oncology patients.

As one of the most experienced providers at Oncology Rehab, Brianna helped to provide best practice care for the oncology patient by participating in the development of referral pathways with physicians in the Denver Metro area for prehab referrals, i.e. referral at the time of cancer diagnosis.   She continues to maintain close relationships with oncology physicians in the Denver Metro area and participates as the oncology-specialized rehab representative in several breast cancer tumor boards.

In addition to her many years as a treating Physical Therapist, Brianna has led a weekly yoga class for cancer survivors since 2012.  She has participated in numerous educational talks for survivors, and has worked with the national non-profit group Living Beyond Breast Cancer, both as a presenter at their national conference and as the yoga teacher for the fundraiser signature event in Denver at Cheesman Park.

In her personal time, Brianna enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters.  She loves being outside and three of her favorite Colorado activities  are hikes to mountain lakes, soaking in hot springs, and enjoying a hazy beer at a brewery.
