Dr. Jillian Stecklein, PT, DPT

Jillian Stecklein grew up in the Western suburbs of Chicago. She enjoyed an active lifestyle, being involved in many sports and extracurricular activities, and a wonderful family upbringing. She knew she was meant to be a Physical Therapist since high school. After visiting a healthcare career fair and seeing how physical therapy was an amazing blend of preventative medicine, leadership, exercise, and nutrition, she has worked toward that goal ever since. It also allowed for great balance between family and career as she always hoped to be a mom!

She continued on her education earning a Bachelors of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During this time, she thrived as the President of the Fighting Illini Triathlon Team, participated in activities at her Church, and enjoyed being a part of her sorority. She completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2014.

She met her husband, Kelton, at a Catholic adventure camp (Camp Wojtyla) in the Rockies the summer before PT school. Since Kelton has now completed PT school in Denver, the family is happy to be home in the town of Hays, KS near family with their son, Kolbe. She finds great joy in serving the community with her skills and experience!

I’m amazed at how much progress I’ve been able to make through telehealth PT! Just a couple months ago my postpartum symptoms seemed hopeless, but thanks to regular PT, I feel like a different person. I’m so grateful I’ve had access to a faithful Catholic approach to healing the whole person, body and soul. –Anonymous
