Hi! My name is Dr. Brenna Strawser, and I’m a physical therapist at the Madden and Gilbert office in Harrisburg. I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Lebanon Valley College in 2023, and I’m so excited to be part of the Madden and Gilbert PT family! I grew up in the small town of Port Royal in Juniata County, but I now live with my boyfriend, Alex, in Hershey. Alex and I met in PT school, and he now works as a physical therapist at the Madden and Gilbert clinic in Lancaster.

I chose this profession because I knew it would keep me on my toes and allow me to help and interact with different people. I find it incredible that I can use my own hands and knowledge to help people achieve their physical goals and heal naturally. Most of all, I love seeing patients get excited over their hard work and progress!

One thing you should know about me is I absolutely love my dog. His name is Indiana (Indy for short), and he’s a Brittany spaniel with a big personality. Finally, outside the clinic, I am an avid adventurer known for dragging Alex on some wild excursions. Together, we have been to 24 states and 4 national parks with a goal to see them all! Some of my favorite adventures include iceberg kayaking in Alaska, hiking to alpine lakes in Washington, and swimming in the Baltic Sea in Sweden! I can’t wait to work with you and hear about your adventures as well!
