@katherinealombro
Entry-level physical therapist blending athletics and clinical expertise to deliver empathetic, goal-driven rehab.
What I'm looking for
I’m a driven, detail-oriented Doctor of Physical Therapy who blends an athletics-and-fitness foundation with clinical insight to deliver empathetic, goal-driven care. I’m known for leadership, teamwork, and academic excellence, and I focus on empowering patients with personalized, motivating rehab experiences.
In clinical rotations, I built strong confidence across inpatient acute/ICU and outpatient orthopedic/sports settings. I independently managed 75–100% of an inpatient caseload, and I also developed evidence-based treatment plans and home exercise programs for outpatient patients, including sport-specific rehabilitation for collegiate athletes.
I bring hands-on experience with joint mobilizations, soft tissue techniques, and functional movement assessments, and I’ve supported recovery using modalities such as e-stim, cupping, IASTM, and dry needling. I’m committed to accurate documentation and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, and I continue growing through specialized education and certifications.
