My Background
I grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas, and my love for sports training and human physiology grew while playing football. I attended Baylor University, where I earned a Bachelor of Sciences in Exercise Physiology. There, I deepened my passion for strength and conditioning , plus the added bonus of meeting my future wife! After earning my doctorate of physical therapy at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, I began working in an outpatient private practice in Dallas. I quickly discovered that treating patients involved much more than what I had learned in school. I felt drawn to orthopaedic injuries specifically, and desired to learn more. Six months later, I entered into the Institute for Athlete Regeneration's combined residency and fellowship program. During my time in Dallas, I developed a new passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which contributed to my mental and physical growth. We later moved to Nashville for my wife's residency program, where I honed my new fellowship skills.
Experience
Dr. Indy Henderson is a board-certified orthopedic specialist and a fellowship-trained physical therapist. With over seven years of experience in outpatient physical therapy, he also dedicated the last two years to mentoring new therapists and serving as faculty for the Upstream Rehabilitation Institute Orthopedic residency program. During his time in Nashville, Tennessee, he held the position of vice president of the Nashville District of the Tennessee Physical Therapy Association. As part of his advanced training, he taught a Sports Manual Therapist Certification course for physical therapists and athletic trainers. His diverse mentorship experiences equipped him to communicate complex injuries into understandable explanations and practical solutions. He offers a well-rounded approach to patient care. Additionally, while training at Nashville mixed martial arts, he coached a mobility and performance class for combat athletes aiming to enhance their athletic abilities and recovery.
He moved back to Texas to be closer to family, and is excited to meet you, treat you, and get you better quicker!
