Kate is one of our valued team members who puts her all into treating patients. She initially started college as a pre-pharmacy major but later changed her focus to physical therapy after learning about the profession. Kate says, “I liked the idea that the body can heal itself naturally in many cases, if just given the correct tools.” She utilizes this principle while creating customized programs for her patients based on their situations.
Kate Roby PT, DPT
Since starting her career in physical therapy, Kate has committed to continuing her education by specializing in pelvic floor health and rehab, after learning how common these issues are and how much they can adversely impact someone’s life. Kate wants her patients to know that you are never alone if you are experiencing issues such as pelvic pain and incontinence.
When asked why she is passionate about pelvic health, Kate said she believes that, “often people are afraid of confronting and discussing these issues. It can quickly feel like you are the only one dealing with them.” However, she knows that no patient is in their battles alone, and she aims to help them discover that. Kate also sees many patients who are frustrated after receiving previous treatments for their issue(s). For this, she provides some words of wisdom: “It can be frustrating after you feel like you have tried every treatment, but don’t give up!”
At the end of the day, Kate wants people to know that there is help out there and that it does not have to be an overwhelming or intimidating experience when seeking help for a certain condition. In fact, she wants patients to know that, “part of what we as PTs do is finding and working within your comfort zone, providing education so that you understand your treatment.” Kate believes the key to rehabilitation of any injury or condition is considering the overall dynamic wellness of the patient as a person. She has a passion for physical therapy because it’s “a unique opportunity to really spend time getting to know our patients and seeing them progress throughout the treatment process.” Outside of the clinic, Kate enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, hiking, watching documentaries, and sketching. She stays true to her philosophy that “life is about balance!”
