My Approach to Physical Therapy
Move Better, Feel Better
Injury, trauma, chronic illness or persistent pain can make your own body feel like it is working against you. With the right support, protective mechanisms like pain recalibrate so that you can move through life with ease. By applying evidence-based and highly individualized education, nervous system regulation, exercise programs, my clients regain strength, balance, functional mobility, and confidence for everyday life.
A Collaborative Journey to Your Healing
Together, we’ll build a clear, practical plan so you can feel empowered in your journey and supported at every step. My approach adapts to your preferences, your needs, your response to treatment.
Empowering Self-Leadership
PT is just the start; I’ll equip you with tools to understand your body and actively participate in your healing for long-term results. By fine-tuning your relationship with your body, you will be better equipped to care for it throughout your lifespan.

Why Choose Catherine Lewan Physical Therapy?
- You want to feel seen, heard and understood.
- You want to learn about your body– and how to work with it instead of fighting against it.
- You are tired of being treated like a collection of parts–you want to be treated like a whole person.
- You are exhausted from trying treatments that don’t work.
- You’ve seen short-term improvements, but nothing seems to last.
- You’ve seen improvements while in PT, but they don’t seem to carry over to real life.
- You want to work with someone who really “gets it”
“You are not broken. Your body-mind is trying its best to protect you from a world that doesn’t always know how to support you. You’ve already taken steps to find the support you need– you are here! You are resilient, adaptive, and capable of profound transformation.”
Co-Create the Support You Need
Rather than tell you what you need, I invite you to be seen and heard. After a thorough examination and history, I share my assessment and offer recommendations. We discuss what you are most comfortable proceeding with. If you aren’t quite sure, it’s OK, we will figure it out together. Your body holds the answers.
I’m not attached to one particular tool or technique– I have a lot of tools in my toolbox! We need to find the most effective way for you to move forward toward your goals and I’ll happily offer any of the skills I’ve learned in PT, Research, Autonomic Nervous System Regulation, Somatics, Dance, Yoga Therapy, Pilates or chronic pain treatment or Health Coaching to help you find what works for you. The most powerful resource we have is your inner guide, and how we proceed will depend on your preferences and your response to anything that we try. Your feedback is invaluable throughout the process as it guides us in making the next steps toward healing.
This may seem like a huge responsibility if you’ve only ever been told by the experts to do what they think is best for you. But if that worked, why would you be here? And who could really ever be more of an expert on your body than you? It is possible to heal your relationship with your body, befriend it and learn to speak it’s language so that you can better attend to it’s needs. That way you can either directly meet those needs using self-care or home PT techniques, or more clearly and confidently communicate them to your care team if you need assistance.
When it comes to options for treatments, we don’t have to force anything that doesn’t feel like a good fit. You’ll know when you are on the right track because your body will say “yes” instead of “no.” We will listen for those clues and honor your body’s wisdom.
If you are feeling a “yes” of curiosity, book a free Discovery Consult and let’s explore what working together might look like!
