Are you a seasoned athlete whose dealt with one injury after another and are tired of going to a PT clinic where you feel less important than other patients, get rushed during your treatment sessions, feel brushed off when you raise a concern, and/or confused when it seems like you should be getting faster than you actually are?

Are you brand new to physical therapy and wanting to find a PT that you just click with right from the start so that you can feel confident you're in good hands and are doing everything possible to get back to your favorite sport stronger and more resilient?

Whether you've had PT before or you're seeking help with an injury for the first time, you're in the most dedicated hands at The Knee PT + Coaching.

Athletes who are serious about making their best comeback after a knee injury require physical therapy that is seriously committed to helping them achieve their goals.

This means working with a PT who's been through his or her own big-time knee injury recovery processes -- someone who gets what it's like to feel like your patience is being tested to the max when you're sidelined from your favorite sports. And also someone who knows what it takes to get back onto the trails, court, field, or slopes with success.

This is what makes me your go-to PT if you're an athlete recovering from a season-ending knee injury and are ready to do everything possible to get back to your pre-injury normal (and arguably even better).

From helping to break up scar tissue and keeping your muscles happy to creating sports-specific exercise programs that are customized to YOUR unique goals and healing timeline, I know how to continuously adapt your recovery protocol so that you're journey back to sport is as smooth and efficient as possible.

Because I take you, your rehab experience, and your goals seriously, it's important for me to be honest with you.

Most other PTs won't tell you this or walk you through it, but I will.

Because without addressing this component of your healing, you're more likely to experience setbacks, healing complications, and a higher risk of reinjury when you return to sport (if you're able to return at all).

And you deserve a fair shot at summiting mountains, running half-marathons, and enjoying ski weekends again.

Most PTs won't tell you this or walk you through it - but I always will

Without addressing this very specific component of your healing, you're more likely to experience setbacks, healing complications, and a higher risk of re-injury when you return to sport (if you're able to return at all).

And you deserve a fair shot at summiting mountains, running half-marathons, and enjoying ski weekends again.

What part of healing am I talking about?

The mental and emotional parts of you as a human, which includes the thoughts and feelings you were bottling up around the time your injury happened, the new ones that have come alive since you got hurt, and also the ones you experience when you think about returning to your favorite physical activities (especially the sport you were playing when you got injured).

It takes more than covering up your "negative" thoughts and feelings with more positive ones. And it also requires more than just plastering your home, phone, and the inside of your forehead with inspiring mantras.

If it's not cool to cover up your physical symptoms with band-aid fixes, then why do some providers think it's okay to cover up the mental and emotional parts of body's healing process?

Here's the truth Friend

'

It's rare to partner up with another physical therapist who can help you navigate the physical AND mental and emotional parts of rehab because it requires a unique set of skills that aren't typically taught in PT school.

I'm talking about having the:

Courage to ask how you're doing when it looks like you're trying incredibly hard to hold back tears as you walk into your PT session; (this means being willing to walk into those dark places with you and stay by your side the whole way through)

Listening ears to hear about your thoughts and feelings without dismissing, minimizing, or comparing your experience to someone else's

Curiosity to understand why you experience certain parts of the healing journey the way you do (instead of telling you that your experience is wrong)

Knowledge to provide you with appropriate mental and emotional nurturing, including game-changing coping tools when you make it clear that you're wanting to learn about them

Having this unique blend of compassion, knowledge, and professional experience is hands-down what separates me from the rest.

After going through my own life-changing ACL injury rehab journey -- the kind that makes you feel like you're whole world is crumbling all around you -- I committed to learning everything possible about what makes one ACL journey different from another. I wanted to know more about why I had an almost "perfect" healing timeline and return-to-sport after my first injury and why I struggled so much through the second one.

So en route to earning my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I did a thesis on the psychological component of a sports injury. I wanted to be more at peace with my own journey. But I also wanted to lead the way in closing the existing gaps in knee injury sports meydicine that often lead to complicated recoveries and disappointing outcomes.

The take home message?

Super resilient, badass outcomes that help you to stay as injury-free as possible in the long-term require support for all parts of you that experienced the injury.

And because you're a human, it's literally impossible for you to separate your physical parts from your mental and emotional ones.

In 2020 I got my Certification in Mindset Coaching and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). This extra schooling provided me with the tools I didn't learn in PT school that now enable me to effectively support all parts of you -- physical, mental, and emotional -- in synchrony.

Now that I'm equipped with the information to know how the human mind works and how traumatic experiences (like a big knee injury) effect the way you think and feel... and how those thoughts and feelings directly impact the way your body heals... it is ethically and morally unacceptable for me to not support you as a whole human.

So, long story short, all parts of you need to be nurtured as you heal from a knee injury if you're serious about making your biggest comeback.

When you work with me at The Knee PT + Coaching all parts of you are important and safe to be seen, held, heard, and supported on the path back to a life that fills your cup.
