“I am regularly pain free and am no longer hurting my back on a regular basis. The personalized attention, the detail and the customization of exercises to me specifically is unlike any PT experience I’ve had before. I wish I had found them earlier!”

“Hands down best PT experience I've had. Background: Runner, CrossFit athlete, perpetual ignorer of supporting muscle work. Went to Kate with knee pain; she worked with me to identify some weaknesses, taking into account my running form and background. She gave me targeted, functional exercises that varied each week and that I could work into my running and strength routine.

I always feel comfortable, heard, and supported when I work with Kate. Having experienced "big box" PT clinics with a one-size fits all program, her customized, individual approach is a revelation. I was able to run a 51k race with no knee pain (well, no more than you'd expect from running that far ;).”

“I love PTing with Lauren. She’s extremely personable, professional, and always focused on less pain, more movement, and long term health. I appreciate that. As much as I want to stay in PT, she helps motivate me to stay active and healthy outside of it.”

“My 10-year-old daughter is a gymnast and suffered a back injury. By referral we met Dr. Kate. Dr. Kate is a former gymnast, speaks gymnast lingo, is super knowledgeable about all things gymnastics and just flat out pretty darn awesome. She had my daughter pain free and competition ready in 4 weeks. She even taught us about preventing further injury.”

“The best physical therapy group I’ve experienced. Their customized approach separates them from the larger chain physical therapy groups. For years I struggled with various injuries stemming from a 20 year old injury. I tried several PT groups and made little progress. Since starting with Outlier, I’m finally addressing the root issues and back doing all the activities I love! They make a great team and truly listen. I highly recommend checking them out!”

“Incredibly gifted physical therapists! I have tried for years to try to improve my lower back pain by using injections, physical therapy, massage, etc. Finally my pain has improved! They are tremendously attentive and focused solely on my time with them and if I am doing the exercises correctly. This was eye-opening to me since I had done many of the same exercises but had done them wrong and no other physical therapist had picked up on this. Thank you for all that you do! you are not only my family’s physical therapists but friends too!”

“Lauren Parsons has been our family PT for years now. She is amazing! She is professional, smart, strong as all get out, talented and hilarious! We look forward to our appointments not only because she will figure out our issues and be able to help us get better and stronger, but also because she has become our friend and we enjoy spending time with her. Not only great with adults, but kids as well. A billion stars!”

“Kate and her colleagues at Outlier PT have left me with a better understanding of my body and injury history, as well as a full toolbox of approaches to proactively avoid re-aggravation and address minor injuries. As a rugby player, runner, and climber I know that some amount of wear and tear is inevitable, but thanks to Outlier PT I feel better equipped to tell when something is serious and strengthen what I need to strengthen to maintain a good physical baseline. HUGE thank you to Kate, Sarah, and Lauren! You all are the best!”

“The individualized care and attention given to my hip impingement & shoulder health is unbelievable! Sarah truly cares about my healing process. The Outlier physical therapy studio is always clean and has a very peaceful vibe! I am pain free 99% of the time. Very grateful for the guidance to get here!”

“The best part of working with Sarah is she tells me why I am doing specific exercises and what my body is doing. Not only does this feed my nerd brain it helps me correct and improve my movement outside of sessions. If you’re hurt or even if you’re not and just want to move better and healthier look no further. Sarah and Outlier PT are your answer! They are worth the investment even out of pocket.”
