About

Katrina Schmidt, PT, DPT, Cert MDT

I am a wife and mother, who has lived in Nazareth, Pennsylvania for 20 years.

I have been a physical therapist for 24 years.

I graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York in 1999 with a Master of Professional Studies in Physical Therapy.

I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Temple University in 2005.

In 2007, I became credentialed in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (The McKenzie Method).

I have worked in traditional,  outpatient physical therapy since 2002.  In those years, I have had to juggle treating 2 to 3 patients each hour.  I've always felt that I could never give my patients all the attention they deserved.  (Maybe you have had traditional physical therapy and felt the same!)  I've decided to make a change.  The new model: one patient, one therapist, for one hour.  I perform a detailed exam, in which I actually listen to your history, onset, and symptoms.  Then, I will perform a physical exam to determine  a mechanical diagnosis and prescribe specific exercises for you.

Each visit thereafter will also be 1:1, this way I can continually assess the effect of  the prescribed exercises on your symptoms.
