Who Is Dr. Katie?
Graduating from Columbia University Medical Center in NYC, Dr. Katie earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2018. She made the move to Charleston and has dedicated her time as a PT to discovering how to treat neuropathy, cancer related fatigue, balance issues, GVHD, difficulty with range of motion post surgery, and helping those in all stages of cancer get through the battle and return to being themselves. Dr. Katie became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Oncologic Physical Therapy in 2023.
How Is Cancer Related PT Different?
With consideration for side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and disease progression, treating patients with cancer is about looking at the numbers and the person with the knowledge of how everything plays together, and then putting the parts together to make the whole person well.

Downloads for Physical Therapy Treatment of CIPN
Treating CIPN should be as straightforward as treating rotator cuff. Here are my handouts, based on the research we have done in the clinic and synthesis of the evidence. These are meant to help guide patients and practicing physical therapists. If you are a patient, these are not a replacement for medical care, and you should reach out to me or to your local physical therapist for help with your CIPN.
