Brandon Leal is a licensed physical therapist who joined Foothills Physical Therapy in 2025. He was born and raised in Casa Grande, Arizona, moving to Jerome, Idaho at the age of 16. Growing up, Brandon enjoyed playing sports, primarily baseball, which he continued playing at Southwestern Oregon Community College as a pitcher. He graduated with his Bachelors in Biology at the University of Idaho, after which he attended physical therapy school at Idaho State University in Meridian, graduating Spring of 2025 with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy. 

Brandon was introduced to the field of physical therapy at a young age, suffering from a chronic injury while playing baseball. When he couldn’t physically play any longer due to pain, he began attending physical therapy, where he was in awe that a profession such as this could help him not only be pain-free, but excel at the sport he loved. 

Brandon is passionate about continuing his education and becoming the best clinician he can be for his patients, thus will be completing his residency in the Orthopedic Residency at Foothills Physical Therapy (ORFPT) in order to further his patient care skills, knowledge, and experience. He loves treating patients of all ages and conditions and is eager to continue to broaden his scope and develop his expertise. 

When he is not treating patients, Brandon enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, family, and friends. He enjoys the outdoors, partaking in activities such as hiking, camping, boating, and more. He is also an avid Arizona Diamondbacks fan, and will spend most nights during the season watching them play.
