Rochelle Kandler, DPT, Cert. DN

Greetings! I am Dr. Rochelle Kandler. I’m a physical therapist that has been committed to care with Primetime Physical Therapy for 6 years and I have proudly served as clinic manager of the Niceville team for the last 4 years. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science from the University of Central Florida, followed by my Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of St Augustine for Health Sciences.

I am Dry Needling certified, utilizing this highly specialized technique in conjunction with prescribed treatment strategies for an individualized plan of care to get my patients back to their desired activity levels. I enjoy treating all orthopedic patients, with a special interest in various knee and shoulder conditions.

I found my passion for physical therapy while attending Crestview High School when my father tore his achilles tendon, requiring surgery and physical therapy rehabilitation afterwards. I had always been interested in the medical field, but was introduced to physical therapy and decided that it was the specialty I wanted to pursue due to the hands-on nature and the more individualized care I could provide.

For enjoyment outside of the professional setting, I spend my time reading, traveling and attending rock concerts!
