Based in Weatherford, Texas and founded by Parker County native, Sarah King, Medella Collective (Former Medella Physical Therapy) is built on compassion, expertise, and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to heal. The roots of Medella stretch back to high school, when she first began working as a physical therapy technician at a local clinic. That early exposure sparked a calling—one that led her to Baylor University for undergraduate studies and later to Hardin-Simmons University, where she earned her doctorate in physical therapy.

Life took on new meaning in 2019 when she met her husband, Josh. The two married in 2020 and returned to Parker County to be close to home. Soon after, their world shifted when Josh was diagnosed with brain cancer. Over the next several years, they navigated treatment, care coordination, and life together—learning first-hand the impact of thoughtful, collaborative healthcare.

Medella Physical Therapy was originally created to provide the kind of care most people hope for—personal, kind, efficient, and rooted in excellence. For more than five years, the practice served the community with one-on-one attention and a commitment to treating the whole person, not just symptoms.

During Josh’s cancer journey, the vision for something more began to take shape. Together, they dreamed of a space where multiple providers could collaborate—offering integrated care focused on quality of life. Though the timing never felt right while balancing treatment and family, the idea stayed close to their hearts. After Josh’s passing in spring 2025, that vision became both a calling and a way forward.

That vision is now coming to life as Medella Collective—a name rooted in the Latin word for “health and healing.”

Medella Collective expands beyond traditional physical therapy to offer a growing range of services designed to support the whole person. The practice provides physical therapy, including pelvic floor therapy, sports therapy, and craniosacral therapy, alongside medical care through a nurse practitioner offering wellness visits, IV and red light therapy, hormone and weight-loss consults, and sick visits. Pilates is also part of the collective, with plans for additional services in the future.

What sets Medella apart is its unwavering commitment to one-on-one care. Every service is delivered by highly credentialed providers with extensive training, allowing each patient to receive focused attention without the constraints often imposed by insurance-driven models. By operating out of network, the team ensures time, quality, and care are never compromised.

At its core, Medella Collective is about connection. The practice aims to serve as a hub where providers collaborate, patients feel supported, and education and prevention are valued just as highly as recovery. Helping people return to the activities they love—whether that’s parenting without pain, competing in sports, or simply moving well—is just the beginning.

Looking ahead, Medella Collective plans to host wellness workshops, educational events, and community outreach initiatives that empower individuals to take charge of their health. Construction is underway for a new space that will allow the collective to continue growing and serving Parker County in meaningful ways.

Through years of professional practice and personal hardship, one lesson stands out: the body keeps score. Ignoring pain or health concerns often leads to deeper challenges over time. Addressing issues early—and giving the body the tools and environment it needs to heal—can make all the difference.

Medella Collective stands as both a professional practice and a personal mission—one shaped by love, resilience, and a belief that healing is possible, even in life’s hardest seasons.
