Our story

Built for comebacks

Chapter 01

A sports clinic, 2005

Russell Kincaid ran a sports medicine clinic in Lubbock for seven years. Again and again, he watched grandparents of his athletes come home from rehab weaker than they went in.

A different kind of rehab, 2012

He moved to Amarillo and built Palo Duro around a simple idea: older bodies respond to real training. The gym came first; the suites were built around it.

The truck cab, 2014

An occupational therapist noticed half our Panhandle guests needed to climb into a pickup to get home. He bolted a salvaged truck cab to the gym floor. Guests now practice on it every day.

Measured progress, 2018

We started testing grip strength, walking speed and balance every week and posting the numbers for each guest. Seeing the gains turned out to be the best motivation we have.
