Shane Sims

Owner/Physical Therapist

Shane Sims has similar credentials to Tyler, (board certified in orthopedics and a fellow in manual therapy).  While we know many people are not concerned about certifications, we want people to know that we value excellence and have achieved a credentialed status that less than 2 percent of all PT's achieve.

Shane has been a practicing physical therapist since 2001 and has been co-owner of CORE Physical Therapy in Edmond since 2005. He feels as if he is the luckiest husband and father on the planet, married to a beautiful PT, Paige. He and Paige have two boys, Luke (7) & Bauer (4).  Shane and Paige's family motto is:  Read it, Believe it, Live it, DIE FOR IT.  Our shared passion is to raise our boys to become Godly men, encouraging them to be healthy, generous ambassadors for Christ by teaching and modeling it ourselves.

Shane grew up in West Texas (Where football is a religion of its own) and attended Texas Tech for undergraduate studies and The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for a Master's in Physical Therapy.  Shane thrives on competition and loves any sport with a ball, especially if it has a logo like Titleist  or Calloway!
