Katie?s Vision: ?I am truly committed to the field of Physical Therapy and Wellness. A relationship is made between a physical therapist and the patient. I believe as physical therapists we need to educate our patients as well as their support system on their dysfunction. With education, the patient becomes an active participant in their care. By treating the patient?s dysfunction we as therapists are able to assist the patient in achieving their goals.?
