ABOUT US
Dr. Patrick Bray is the Founder and President of The CranioFacial and TMJ Institute. He founded this company with a radical different vision for physical therapy care. Thinking outside the box is what has allowed him to help many patients from a wide variety of backgrounds overcome their physical challenges. He believes that everyone should have an individual treatment protocol regardless of diagnosis and has implemented this philosophy successfully across multiple disciplines.
He attended the University of Louisville for his undergraduate studies and received his Bachelors in Exercise Physiology. He then subsequently went on to achieve his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Wheeling Jesuit University.

He has contributed to several journals with case reports/periodicals on chronic myofascial pain, and is recognized as a distinguished peer reviewer for multiple journals on manipulative therapeutics, dry needling and chronic pain.
