I have a structural imbalance in my body due to injury to my leg. This has always caused a certain level of back pain. I went to see Dr. Katie because I was in acute pain. She addressed the acute pain first and then discussed with me how to address the chronic pain. Dr. Katie was very knowledgeable, patient, and it was easy to trust her understanding of the situation. She began treatment with trigger point therapy. Then, she suggested dry needling in order to reduce the muscular contraction where the pain was most acute. In the past, acupuncture has never helped me. But this time it reduced my pain considerably. Dr. Katie was very careful with the needling, and in some areas decided that it waqsa too risky and suggested cupping instead. To my surprise, that, too, reduced my pain. She explained that the long-term solution to my chronic pain was to perform exercises designed to strengthen the specific area of weakness in my body. In my case to was the gluteus medius. In all the years of my working with physical therapists no one had ever pointed out to me what exactly was the source of my problem. I was very impressed. She then proceeded to work on developing and then adapting the exercise plan every session, according to how it was working for me. My pain level has decreased considerably, though I understand that I will need to continuing exercising to prevent a return to the pain level I was at when I first came to see Dr. Katie. I highly recommend her.
Katie is the best Physical Therapist I have ever encountered! She works one on one and never leaves your side through the entire session. Her focus and deep understanding of the body and mobility translate into a partnership of recovery with her patient which I find so unique. She is a great communicator with empathy and good listening skills that came together to be pivotal in not only my physical progress but in a great client- therapists relationship. There should be more Katie Carpenter’s in the world!!!
Katie is excellent at Physical Therapy and a pleasure to work with
