Dr. Aaron Kranz PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, Cert. DN, SFMA/FMS, FRCms, DNS-A, Precision Nutrition I Coach
Dr. Aaron Kranz, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is the founder and owner of Prescribed Performance, a one-on-one orthopedic physical therapy and sports performance clinic serving Liberty, Missouri and the greater Kansas City area. Established in 2022, Prescribed Performance was created to provide personalized, evidence-based physical therapy and performance training for athletes and active adults who want to recover fully and continue training without unnecessary limitations.
Dr. Kranz earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Benedictine College in 2012, where he was a four-year letter winner on the football team, before completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in Phoenix, Arizona in 2015. In 2019, he became a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS)—an advanced designation held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists nationwide, reflecting a high level of expertise in orthopedic physical therapy and injury rehabilitation.
As a former collegiate football player and competitive powerlifter, Dr. Kranz understands firsthand the physical and mental challenges that come with orthopedic injuries, surgeries, and the desire to return to high-level performance. His treatment philosophy emphasizes movement assessment, strength development, and biomechanics to resolve pain, restore function, and reduce the risk of future injury.
Dr. Kranz has worked with a wide range of clients—from professional and collegiate athletes to recreational lifters and active adults—using an integrated approach that combines orthopedic physical therapy, strength training, mobility work, and sports performance programming. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), certified in dry needling, and trained in Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), and Precision Nutrition coaching.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Kranz enjoys spending time with his wife Delaney, their son Harrison, daughter Elora, and their two dogs, Dash and Hosmer. His personal interests include strength training, hiking with his dogs, and exploring the Kansas City food scene.
Prescribed Performance
After earning his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2015, Dr. Aaron Kranz gained extensive experience working in outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine physical therapy clinics, as well as acute rehabilitation hospital settings. Through this work, he developed a strong foundation in injury rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and return-to-activity care.
Over time, Dr. Kranz recognized that many large, high-volume physical therapy clinics prioritize maximizing patient visits over delivering individualized care—often limiting treatment time and outcomes. After five years practicing in Arizona and an additional year working in the Kansas City area, he made the decision to build a better model for his patients.
That vision led to the creation of Prescribed Performance, a one-on-one physical therapy and sports performance clinic in Liberty, Missouri, focused on personalized, evidence-based care. Every session emphasizes quality treatment, movement analysis, and long-term results—so clients can recover fully, return to training safely, and move better for the long run.
