FYZICAL Lincoln Park

Hi, I’m Katie and I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Specialist. I also treat women’s health/pelvic floor. I am Herman & Wallace level 1 trained. I received my BA in Exercise Science and Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree through Carroll University’s direct admission program. With both my orthopedic and pelvic health specialties, I love to treat the whole body. I love to make connections specializing in orthopedic and pelvic health. I take a holistic approach to patient care.

By considering both top-down (hips/core/breathing/posture) and bottom-up (foot posture/stability) influences, I ensure that each aspect of a patient’s condition is thoroughly addressed. I also integrate both biomechanics and neurological factors, such as somatosensory, visual, vestibular, and sensory impairments, into my assessments. My commitment to lifelong learning fuels my passion for optimizing functional performance, allowing my patients to achieve their goals and live their best lives through personalized, compassionate care.

I believe being a physical therapist doesn’t end when I leave the clinic each day. I live an active lifestyle trying to walk and bike anywhere and everywhere I can in the city if our Chicago weather permits. I love to be outside and have quite the plant collection in my apartment. I also DJ house music for fun and believe dancing is the ultimate celebration of life. – this is why I got into PT. I believe movement is medicine for the body and the soul. I love getting people back to what they love to do.
