Meet Our Team

Kathy graduated from Thomas Jefferson University with a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy and then began her career at Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital. She spent time on the Spinal Cord, Musculoskeletal, Amputee, Brain Injury, and Stroke Units, developing a niche for treating clients with neurological and amputee conditions. Kathy places a strong value on continuing education and has attended many educational courses to further her knowledge and specialize her approach to treating neurological, amputee, and vestibular conditions. She completed the APTA Vestibular Competency at Emory University in 2014.  She also returned to her alma mater, Thomas Jefferson University, to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Kathy’s work history includes time spent at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Main Line Affiliates home care, which enabled her to diversify her knowledge and experience with treating clients across the continuum of health care. In addition, Kathy acts as an adjunct faculty member at Neumann University, providing quality education to physical therapy students, in order to ensure the successful growth of the physical therapy profession.

Kathy lives in West Chester with her husband, two sons, and dog. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cooking, hiking, and gardening.

As a sophomore at Garnet Valley High School, Kristen knew she wanted to be a physical therapist. Perhaps it was her fascination with how the body moves, or her desire to motivate someone to achieve beyond their wildest imagination, physical therapy was the perfect profession to combine science with caring for people.

Kristen began her therapy career at Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital after graduating from Ithaca College with her Masters Degree, and subsequently completing her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Temple University. She quickly developed a passion for treating clients with neurological conditions, prompting her to pursue an advanced certification in Neuro-Developmental Technique, a hands-on technique for the treatment of individuals with hemiplegia. Understanding that the older adult has great potential in improving their health and fitness, Kristen became an American Physical Therapy Association Geriatric Certified Specialist in 2009. Kristen also excels at treating conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, pre/post natal care, back and shoulder pain, and rehabilitating balance and walking problems. 

In addition to her clinical skills, Kristen is an adjunct faculty member at Neumann University, which allows her to “nerd-out” on therapy with doctorate-level physical therapy students. Lastly, Kristen is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Private Practice Section, serving as Editor of the national publication Impact Magazine and participating in the mastermind Peer 2 Peer Networking group. She enjoys writing for a variety of publications as well as conducting public speaking educational programs throughout the community on a variety of health-related topics.

When not wrangling her three incredibly active sons, Kristen enjoys sharing good wine with her husband, cooking Bon Appetit recipes, and dancing like no one is watching.
