Kristin Knudsen

PTA

Orthopedic Injuries, Post-Operative Care, Balance/Fall Reduction

I am a born and raised Gillette native. After graduating with my bachelors degree, I moved back home to Gillette to spend time with my dad who ultimately passed from pancreatic cancer. During this time, I worked as a Health Educator for several years and decided to go back to school to become a PTA to have a more active involvement in patients/clients lives. Through my experience working as a technician in outpatient clinics and through watching my dad go through therapy services during his battle with cancer, I found a deep love for physical therapy rooted in my passion for physical activity and wanting to help people live better quality lives. 

 

I have experience in outpatient, inpatient, and home health physical therapy services. I enjoy working with a wide range of age groups and specialize in orthopedic injuries, post operative care, and balance/fall reduction. I love being the smiling face involved in your physical therapy journey from beginning to end.

 

In my free time I love to travel abroad, attend concerts, weightlift, hike, backpack, and spend time with my husband and two golden retrievers.
