Kathleen Murphy, PT, DPT is a native of Caledonia, IL. She graduated from Marquette University in 2006, with a Bachelor's degree in both Human Biology and Spanish and in 2008, with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
Kathleen began her physical therapy career in a hospital setting providing care for patients with a vast array of impairments, including orthopedic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, psychological, as well as patients in the ICU. In 2009 she chose to switch gears and place her emphasis in outpatient orthopedics at which time she joined the Orthopedic and Sports Therapy Institute at Marengo Physical Therapy. While there she treated orthopedic, sports, and industrial injuries. She is a certified clinician in Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTYM®) for treating tendonitis type conditions and fits individuals with custom orthotics for foot and ankle related disorders. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).
Kathleen particularly enjoys sports and orthopedics rehabilitation as she was once a patient herself after a sports-related injury during high school. In her free time, Kathleen enjoys running and swimming. Kathleen is excited to be able to continue her physical therapy career in Poplar Grove serving the community in which she grew up!
