Jordan Williams, DPT, Cert DN

Owner/ Doctor of Physical Therapy

Jordan uses a blend of advanced manual therapy skills and therapeutic exercise to achieve success in the treatment of his patients. He earned his bachelor of science in physiology with minors in Spanish and chemistry from The University of Arizona in 2006. Shortly after graduation he began working as a physical therapy technician. He became fluent in Spanish while working and living in Tucson. Dr. Jordan graduated from the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Northern Arizona University in 2014 where his doctoral capstone was “Diagnosis and Treatment of Concussion in the Physical Therapy Setting”. Dr. Jordan has had experience in athletic focused rehab, worker’s comp, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Since opening Proof Physical Therapy he has developed a cyclist assessment program, and has been trained in 2D and 3D running gait analysis, both of which are used to identify areas susceptible to injury and to increase efficiency. Many patients have become pain free riders and runners due to these programs. He is a level 2 certified Running Gait Analyst through RunDNA, Dry Needling Certified, and does training with sports teams in the off season. During his free time he likes to mountain bike, play the bass, woodwork and camp with his wife and three children.

 Amanda Kimmel, PTA

Physical Therapist Assistant

Amanda is a passionate Physical Therapist Assistant who works alongside Dr. Jordan to help people return to the activities they love. Amanda received her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Eastern Washington University and then continued on to Whatcom College in Bellingham, WA, for her PTA degree. She moved to Flagstaff in the fall of 2018 and finished her final clinical rotation for school under Dr. Jordan here at Proof Physical Therapy. She enjoyed the atmosphere of this clinic which focuses on individualized treatments, often relating to a patient’s sports or hobbies that they want to be able to do pain free, and was excited to be able to start her career here. Amanda is certified in level 2 Running Gait Analysis.  

People often ask what a PTA is and what they do. A Physical Therapist Assistant is able to do much of the same things that a Physical Therapist does. After the PT has done an initial examination and determined the diagnosis, a PT and PTA then work as a team to carry out the plan of care. PTAs can treat patients with hands on work, instruct in exercise, and carry their own caseload.

Outside of work Amanda’s favorite thing is to play with her dog, yorkshire terrier Jasper. They often go out hiking on the weekends and love exploring the trails around Flagstaff. She also enjoys indoor rock climbing, skiing, and snowboarding.
