I am Dr. Kristen Schleich PT, DPT, MS, avid rock climber, recreational jogger, and leisurely dog walker. I previously worked in the commercial physical therapy setting and although worked with a great team, did not love the way I was forced to practice.

I don’t believe the quality of care I give should be dictated by insurance companies, volume metrics, or doubled patients. I value direct one on one care where your voice is heard and your thoughts matter. I love nothing more than being a part of someone’s healing journey and seeing them do things they never thought possible.

My physical therapy background includes injuries and chronic pain, rock climbing and running specific recovery, shoe wear assessments, post-operative rehabilitation and pediatric conditions. 

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Strength, conditioning, correct muscle recruitment and injury rehabilitation are some of the many ways to address challenges you are facing in the rock climbing and running spaces. I know the language and I understand the mechanics needed for you to send your next project or PR in your upcoming race!
