Ashton Blanchard is a licensed physical therapist who earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University in 2021, after completing his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at Louisiana State University in 2018. A native of Hammond, Louisiana, Ashton moved to Lafayette shortly after earning his doctorate to be with his now wife and has been practicing in the area ever since. He is certified in dry needling and has a strong clinical interest in manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. Ashton is passionate about helping patients move and feel better through personalized, evidence-based care. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Ashton spending time with his wife, Jillian, and their daughter Charlotte, watching LSU games, or logging miles on a run or bike ride. He’s a big fan of good food—both cooking it and eating it—and enjoys traveling, playing music, and staying active. If there’s a way to combine sports, family, and fun, Ashton is all in.
