Katie Sun Worrall, DPT

Hello! I’m Katie and I am a doctor of physical therapy specialized in orthopedics, dance medicine, and pelvic health. I am also a registered yoga teacher.

 

I grew up in the Bay Area but moved to the big apple to attend Barnard College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Dance and History. I then went on to dance for a few contemporary dance companies in New York City.

 

While dancing professionally, I suffered an injury that opened my eyes to the world of physical therapy. I returned to school and received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy with honors from Columbia University. During physical therapy school, I conducted research on adolescent dancer screens and completed advanced training in orthopedics and dance medicine. I have also given several injury risk reduction workshops for dancers and dance teachers, as I am passionate about teaching young dancers about their bodies and ways to minimize injury.

 

After the birth of my first daughter, I completed advanced training in pelvic health physical therapy, with a focus on pregnant and postpartum populations. I am a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and I teach free postpartum classes at Milestone.

 

While under my care, patients can expect to receive a comprehensive plan with the goal of returning to the activities they enjoy – whether it’s dancing, running, walking, or playing with their grandchildren; I am most rewarded when my patients are happy.
