Brandon Young, MPT, PT

Brandon Young is the founder of BYoung Physical Therapy and a co-owner of The Running PTs and 8ctane Baseball. He leads the vision, growth, and culture of the organizations and is directly involved in shaping their direction and ongoing development. He is deeply committed to patient outcomes and overall patient experience, with a relentless focus on quality and continuous improvement across all aspects of care.

Brandon brings over 20 years of experience in physical therapy and biomechanics, with a focus on shoulder and elbow injuries and the treatment of throwing athletes. He founded BYoung Physical Therapy with the goal of delivering a more effective and individualized approach to care. Early in his career, he worked closely with orthopedic surgeons, helping develop treatment strategies that were more efficient and less painful for patients. That experience established the foundation for how care is delivered across the organizations today.

He is widely recognized for his expertise in shoulder and elbow injuries and has spent years studying biomechanics and movement at a high level. While much of his work has focused on throwing athletes, that environment places high demands on the shoulder and elbow, often exposing underlying issues more clearly than almost any other activity. This has allowed him to develop a deeper understanding of how these injuries occur and how to treat them effectively across a wide range of patients. He has worked with athletes ranging from youth players to professional competitors, helping them return to activity and improve performance while reducing injury risk. His work in biomechanics and motion capture has been instrumental in the development of 8ctane Baseball and its approach to performance training.

As the organizations have grown, Brandon has transitioned out of a full time clinical role and now focuses on leading the business and developing the people within it. He is actively involved in hiring, mentoring, and educating staff, and plays a key role in reinforcing the standards, patient outcomes, and overall experience across all locations.

He remains actively involved in clinical decision making and complex cases, particularly involving the shoulder and elbow. He no longer maintains a regular caseload but remains involved clinically through consultation, oversight, and patient care when appropriate.

“Brandon and his team are the best at helping baseball players return to their highest level of play with the least invasive measures. This team of therapists will help a player explore their best options to get back in the game as quickly and safely as possible and possibly help them avoid unnecessary surgeries. After walking through several injuries with my son, I completely trust Brandon and his team and am forever grateful for all they have done to help him navigate decisions on how best to handle his injuries. If you are searching for a practice that knows and understands the anatomy and mechanics of baseball players, this is the place I would highly recommend.”
