WHAT WE DO

Athlete Restoration Co. is a direct pay “out-of-network” performance physical therapy clinic. We provide our clientele the highest level of problem-solving healthcare services from the ONLY Fellowship trained Doctors of Physical Therapy in this region of Florida.

This isn’t your grandma’s clinic.

We treat high level athletes and high functioning adults from the West Palm Beach, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter areas.

We bring long-term solutions for pain in moving beyond the unproductive, typical physical therapy model by correcting the actual underlying cause of the pain that ultimately prevents you from crushing your active lifestyle that you love.

HOW? Through advanced manual therapy, intentional corrective exercises for your sport, and improving movement patterns.

We want our patients to know that we have their best interests at heart. We also want to be a resource for our community, coaches, athletes, and trainers around the nation.

She is also an active Real Estate Advisor, 200RYT Certified Yoga Instructor, founder and former CEO of Unearthed Rentals, an Alumni of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, and actively working toward her Nutritional Therapy Certification. 

Born and raised outside of Buffalo, NY, she quickly realized that enduring winter was a lifestyle choice that she no longer had to make. She attended FIU in Miami then finished her bachelor’s degree through SUNY College at Buffalo, and immediately moved herself to the sunshine state permanently with a degree in sociology & economics. 

After immediately going into restaurant management following graduation, she joined forces with a local eating disorder clinic serving as the Director of Operations, having the opportunity to open multiple locations for the company during her time there. With the experience she gained running that operation, and the inner knowing that she always wanted to be an entrepreneur, she went on to start her own business, Unearthed Rentals, a successful furniture rental and design firm within the Miami event industry, designing events, manufacturing furniture, putting on more than 400 events a year, including celebrity events as well as marketing activations for well-known national brands. From 2018-2020 Katie spoke at multiple national conferences and consulted multiple businesses around the country regarding a unique hiring process and developing and defining company culture. 

In 2020, she saw the opportunity to trade out the hustle & bustle of Miami life for the casual-paced beach life. Katie sold her house, sold her business, got her real estate license and moved herself and her two sons, Sawyer (8) and Charlie (5), to Tequesta, FL. After an incredibly successful start in real estate, she decided it was time for a change and pursue a career in the health & wellness industry, which is much more aligned for her lifestyle and values. 

Katie races paddleboards competitively, and is an athlete and mentor with The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, actively working with Pipers Angels Foundation, raising both money and awareness to help individuals with cystic fibrosis.
