Helping to get you back on your feet
One of the biggest holes in the rehabilitation process is the transition from the office back into the gym. All too often, folks are discharged from therapy with the expectation to fend for themselves to get back into shape. Every person deserves the right to feel confident training without fear of injury.
About Us
Katie Harper, DPT
Katie brings a collection of experiences to the table, combining 9 years on the coaching floor, 8 years in the clinic, as well as 8 years on the ActiveLife staff as a one on one programming coach for injury and performance. An athlete herself, Katie understands the considerable amount of hard work it takes to reach big goals, as well as the psychological toll an injury can take. If there is one major lesson that Katie has learned over the years, it is that with proper guidance through the rehabilitation process, one does not need to put their life on hold due to an injury.
Her area of expertise ranges anywhere from the weekend warrior, to Sanctionals/Games level CrossFitters, Pro Strongman athletes, competitive powerlifters/weightlifters, and adaptive athletes. All in all, Katie is excited to have found the best of both worlds, where she is able to help people of all ages and abilities bridge the gap between rehabilitation and lifelong wellness/fitness.
Katie is a licensed Physical Therapist in New York State, a CrossFit Level 2 trainer at CrossFit South Brooklyn, CrossFit certified in Adaptive Training, Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms), Functional Movement Screen Provider (FMS), Graston Technique Provider, and a Rocktape Functional Movement Specialist I.
