Hi, I’m Kristen.

DFW’s best at-home physical therapist helping people of all ages restore and rediscover functional mobility.

  • I am so happy you are here! I have been providing physical therapy in the DFW area since obtaining my doctorate in physical therapy in 2010 from Texas Woman’s University. The first 11 years of my career were at UT Southwestern’s outpatient clinic where I was able to treat a multitude of people with various musculoskeletal, orthopedic, cardiorespiratory and neurological disorders. The knowledge I obtained during this time was transformative in the healing care I am able provide to my patients today. No matter the obstacle big or small, I can help! I developed a strong love for treating those with neurological disorders and sought after extra certifications to become a a Board-Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist. I worked closely with the movement disorder team at UT Southwestern and became known as the Parkinsons/movement disorder PT specialist. I worked with the movement disorder doctors on program development, research, neuromodulation networks pertaining to DBS candidacy and various trainings and presentations. I decided to leave UTSW in 2021 and start my own private pay concierge practice — Qualls Physical Therapy & Wellness, PLLC. Becoming “The Home Neuro PT” has allowed me to provide the necessary time and care specific to each person, without restrictions from insurance and with continuous care when needed. My goal is to focus on elite quality care and to never be someone’s limiting factor. My mission is to push boundaries and achieve the highest quality of life, rediscovering movement and to find joy for my patients after injury or diagnosis.

F.A.Q.

  • Yes, if you are wanting Physical Therapy services provided, you must have a referral from a medical doctor with a diagnosis code.

  • No, you simply book a time with me.

  • With a referral for PT services, then we will begin with a PT session with you. If you do not have a PT referral, but you have the goals to be a healthier you with better mobility via professional guidance, then a wellness/training session may be better for you.

  • Treatment for each person will look different based on their unique needs. Some treatment techniques commonly used include: LSVT BIG treatment, PWR! Moves, boxing, gait retraining, neuromuscular re-education, balance training, agility training, postural retraining, yoga & pilates biased core work, aquatic therapy, autonomic nervous system training, general strengthening and conditioning via therapeutic exercise, vestibular rehabilitation, manual therapy, post-operative rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation, geriatric rehabilitation, modality therapy (including cupping, NMES, therapy percussion gun for trigger points, soft tissue massage, infrared light, heat/cold therapy, kinesiotaping, accutaping, lymphatic drainage techniques) and more.

  • Absolutely! Currently at least 50% of my patients are more orthopedic cases and unfortunately most neurological cases will end up becoming orthopedic in nature at times. So you are in the best of hands by having me help you!

  • Sessions are held at the environment of your choosing. Typically in the home, but can also be at work, a park or at your gym. Location must be accessible and safe.

Testimonials

  • I have been doing PT with Kristen for the past 12 years - primarily focused on my PD. Kristen’s Neuro PT knowledge & qualifications have had an enormous impact on my life & mitigating the effects of PD. In addition, her positive energy & dedication to improving the quality of my life have been a true blessing.

  • Run of the mill , cookie cutter physical therapy wasn’t focusing on my needs. Kristen has the the experience, knowledge and understanding to direct the treatment and exercises right where they are needed. This efficiency keeps me engaged & maximizes my results. I don’t know where I would be without her.

    Bob, 58, Parkinson’s Patient

  • Simply said, Dr. Qualls is fantastic. Not only is she great at PT, but she truly cares for her patients. She works to develop a custom program to help all kinds of patients with different needs. She always goes above & beyond, by recommending extra exercises & even non-workout related ideas to improve well being. When I am traveling, she made sure I had a workout plan to take with me. I have only improved & gotten stronger since I have started with her. I think the world of her as a physical therapist & friend.

  • Kristen is amazing in her field. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the body and physical therapy - but she is also kind, caring and dedicated. She helps me battle the results of aging - weakened muscles and occasional falls damaging muscles. She also, works tirelessly with my husband fighting his Parkinson's. We are both healthier because of Kristen and are so thankful she is in our lives.

    -Karan, An Orthopedic & Balance Patient

  • Kristen‘s specialized PT has revolutionized my life. After a stroke, my whole bodily system needed to be reworked. It was challenging for me to even shower. Kristen, not only helped me get my chronic fatigue into a manageable place, she really lifted my spirits with her vibrant personality and positivity. She really listens and checks in with me every session to see how she can best help. She knows what I am capable of even before I know it! I can run, I can go up stairs, I can dance- all things I couldn’t do prior to her training. Kristen has forever changed my life.

  • Can honestly say Kristen has healed me from head to toe. First I wasn’t able to run due to a calf issue. After one treatment and a week of PT I was back on the pavement. I lost mobility and strength in my shoulders and upper back due to lack of stretching and understanding the human body. Not only did Kristen help me ‘open’ up my back to gain mobility but she worked through the problem to determine the root cause was actually coming from my chest. She truly listened to my concerns and worked muscle group to muscle group to really understand my body vs sending me some typical PT exercises. Lastly, Kristen helped me walk again after a two herniated disc injury. She visited me the day after my emergency room visit, not only with a program ready but more importantly, morale support to get through it. I don’t think I would have gotten back to where I am today without her support and care during those difficult couple months getting back on my feet. You rock Kristen!

  • Kristen's dedication to her clients is truly remarkable. Her continuous pursuit of knowledge and personalized approach have made a significant impact on my journey with Parkinson's disease over the past six years. She genuinely cares, always striving to help me be the best I can be. Her expertise is undeniable, and I am grateful for her unwavering support.

    Tracy, 69

  • I had a stroke 6 years ago and lost the use of my left side. After the Medicare covered therapy ran out 4 years ago, I started working with Kristen at my home. I can’t say enough good things about her and her practice. Kristen specialized in Neuro therapy and has so much knowledge about the effects of the stroke on my muscles and my brain. She gives me customized exercise regimens that address my weak areas and consistently raises the challenges as I make progress. She has a beautiful positive energy that make the PT sessions fun and encouraging. With her help, I’m certain that I can continue to improve my gait and balance.
