Hi, I’m Kaitlyn. I’m a licensed physical therapist with 10 years of experience treating a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related injuries in the Tampa Bay area. Born and raised in Tampa, I founded Rooted Strength Physical Therapy with a mission to help people in my community rebuild strength from the ground up—so they can get back to the life and movement they love.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from The University of Tampa and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from The University of Miami. As a former athlete who encountered numerous injuries, I understand firsthand the demands of an active lifestyle and the frustration of being sidelined by injury. As a result, I have always had a passion for injury prevention, especially in young athletes. My experiences drive my approach to treatment, which is rooted in movement, grounded in evidence-based care, and always centered on the individual. I believe in building lasting relationships with my clients and empowering them to take charge of their health and wellness. I believe real strength—physical and personal—starts with a solid foundation! Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply want to move and feel better, I’m genuinely passionate about walking alongside you and bringing a movement-based, personalized approach to every session.

Outside of work, I’m a wife, and mom of two. I love family time, working out, and college football (Go Canes!).

At Rooted Strength, you won’t just find rehab—you’ll feel empowered to move better, feel stronger and reach your goals.
