Tracee Karlson, Physical Therapist
ABOUT
Welcome to Foundations Physical Therapy, where Tracee believes that everybody deserves a chance to regain their strength and confidence with customized physical therapy interventions. She uses both traditional and cutting-edge approaches to aid in your full recovery and help you surpass your goals. Tracee will focus on correcting the movement impairments that often lead to a poor response to exercise or eventually lead to pain. She is particularly concerned with habitual postures and repeated movements that contribute to current or potential functional issues. This strategy helps to create programs allowing individuals to move beyond simply "managing" their symptoms to building a robust musculoskeletal and neurophysiological capacity. She also provides specialized hands-on treatment to aid in correcting any movement impairments. Let Tracee help you reach your potential.
