Katie Vest
Meet Katie
Katie grew up in Greensboro, NC playing soccer competitively and hiking in the Appalachian mountains. She received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Lynchburg in 2020 and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Boston University in 2023. After graduating with her doctorate, she chose to continue her education through an Orthopedic physical therapy residency with the VA at Palo Alto. While at the VA, she worked in the emergency department, on the hospital floor, as well as in the outpatient clinics. She enjoyed helping Veterans recover from operations, return to their weekend warrior status, as well as improve their balance, strength, and confidence in their physical abilities.
Katie’s treatment philosophy is to empower patients through education, addressing the fear that injuries can bring and helping patients regain control over their circumstances. She enjoys getting to know her patients so she can best understand their condition and what they want out of PT. She tailors her treatment to give patients the tools needed to achieve their goals in a sustainable manner. Katie particularly enjoys working with the older adult population, though no matter the age, she has a passion for all things orthopedics. She has a specific interest in treating neck and low back pain, as she has firsthand experience in how impactful PT treatment can be for these injuries.
Outside of the clinic, Katie enjoys walking around farmer’s markets, spending hours in bookstores, watching the Boston Bruins, and is currently learning how to kick box. If you want to better understand your body, achieve your goals, and to make a friend along the way, Katie is the therapist for you!
