About
Thank you for being here!
Empowering clients for 30+ years
I’m Dr. Karen Schlegel, PT, and I’m excited to share my professional journey with you.
My path to deeper healing began with my own health explorations. I started in the fitness industry and found my true calling in physical therapy. Through my experiences with joint injuries, life changes, anxiety, and hormonal shifts, I became my first client.
I’ve learned that true healing begins within. I believe the body is inherently self-healing, and my role is to clear obstacles that impede this process. I listen to the body’s needs and guide my clients as they navigate their own healing journeys.
Healing blocks can be energetic, emotional, or physical. My goal is to help you identify these barriers and understand them, enabling you to move toward feeling your best.
With my knowledge, skills, and experience, I employ a range of techniques, including Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Somatoemotional Release, Myofascial Release, Motor Control exercises, and nutritional guidance. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I can diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions, tailoring our approach to suit your unique needs.
If you’re frustrated with pain, injury, or dis-ease, I understand. Many of my clients have faced chronic issues and felt unheard. My mission is to ensure your body feels seen, heard, and understood, allowing it to begin the process of opening up and finding balance.
Your body’s wisdom leads the way as we peel back layers of compensation, restoring peace and harmony from the soul to the body. As you achieve inner balance, your outer world will reflect that transformation.
These shifts are powerful and life-changing! Witnessing this transformation fuels my passion for helping others heal, ultimately contributing to a healthier world.
I’m honored to support you on your healing journey. All you need is an open mind and compassionate curiosity for your body.
