MEET KATERYNA

 

Hi, I am Kat. I graduated with a Master of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2010, having worked as a physical therapist assistant for 3 years prior to that. While I worked in most settings throughout my career, outpatient orthopedics has become my passion.

I love helping my clients overcome their injuries and return to the stronger version of themselves by utilizing pilates physical therapy approach. I founded Bend & Stretch Physical Therapy in 2017 to pursue my passion of providing high quality rehabilitation by combining pilates and physical therapy. My treatment focus is to empower my clients and provide them with tools necessary to achieve long-term fitness goals. Using pilates apparatus (Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels), my clients are able to move their bodies in all planes of motion with focus on core stabilization under progressive loading, while strengthening arms and legs. As a result, you recover faster and maintain your fitness level in the long-term.

Staying current with industry trends, training, and education, I became Board-certified in Orthopedic Physical Therapy through American Physical Therapy Association and am regularly involved in continuing education coursework. I enjoy teaching workshops about the benefits of my approach to local businesses. I truly believe that mind and body work in unison and one cannot achieve balance without addressing the entire system holistically. Incorporating diaphragmatic breathing combined with local and regional muscular control to achieve full body integration are the core pillars in all of my sessions, with ultimate goal of helping you move and feel better for life.
