Caitlyn values movement.

Caitlyn initially worked in education before deciding she wanted to be more involved with patients. After earning her master’s degree in kinesiology, she kickstarted her new career as a biomechanics specialist at a physical therapy clinic. There, she saw how the clinic’s pedorthist impacted patients’ lives and realized she wanted to do the same.

Now a certified pedorthist and clinic manager for , Inc., Caitlyn continues to help people get back on their feet. Thank you for your contributions, Caitlyn!

Walk. Run. Roll. Dance. Swim. Lift. Stretch.
