Meet Dr. Ben Menke
Dr. Ben Menke founded Better Now Physical Therapy in 2024, becoming the first to bring board-certified orthopedic physical therapy specialist services to Burnet County.
He began as a physical therapist in Georgetown in 2013, and became a clinic director in Liberty Hill in 2014. His post-professional education led to him becoming a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in 2016, a Therapeutic Pain Specialist in 2017, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy in 2019. He was awarded Team Leader of the Year in 2021 and promoted to Managing Partner in 2022. The opportunity to start Better Now Physical Therapy came in 2024.
Our founding principles center around providing early access to awesome experiences with specialist-level physical therapists for people with pain or difficulty moving. We know life is short, and every day counts. We want to help people move better now, so they can live better now.
Our Values
How can I help most right now?
We want things to simply get better when we’re around. We want to “show up” for the people and situations we encounter. We believe we are blessed to be a blessing. It’s a matter of waking up to the moment and living our best life right now.
How far am I willing to go for someone?
We want to serve others generously, while holding boundaries in a loving spirit. It’s more than being nice. It’s our hearts going out to others, compelling us to use words and actions. We want to do this while also loving ourselves, accepting our limitations, and valuing self-care.
How can I care deeply, without attachment?
We want to care about how things go, without needing a certain outcome to happen. We want to pursue our passions, our callings, our dreams, without getting lost in them. This means not sweating the small stuff. It also means “getting off the sideline” to take opportunities to express ourselves and impact the world.
Who am I when nobody is watching?
Plain and simple. This means doing the right thing and keeping agreements, even when it’s hard. We want to be transparent with ourselves and others, so we’re operating from a place of truth and building trust as we live whole-heartedly.
How can I find ways to have fun?
Life is meant to be enjoyed. We want to choose being sincere over being serious. We want to find ways to smile, and help others smile too.
