Katherine Koch
PT, DPT
Owner & Doctor of Physical Therapy
Welcome! Glad to have you here. I'm here to help you navigate a space that can feel unfamiliar, and to address your issue while making you feel heard, comfortable, and supported. I have a passion working with women (and men!) to help them through pelvic health challenges. This might mean keeping someone strong and active throughout pregnancy, relieving pelvic, back, or hip pain at any stage of life, resolving bladder and bowel issues, and more!
My career in physical therapy traces back to my dual undergraduate degrees in exercise science and women's, gender, and sexuality studies from Ohio State University. My background in these fields led me to my doctorate in physical therapy from Regis University here in Denver. Pelvic health physical therapy requires post-graduate training, which I have accumulated extensively over the years and continue to pursue actively to stay up to date with research and techniques.
Working as an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist led to my treatment philosophy of treating each person and each issue as unique, individual, and important. You are not the same as the person next to you, so let's not treat your injury or dysfunction as if it's the exact same either. Bodies are complex and it's my job to help you better understand yours.
​
I love to practice what I preach! My favorite activities include hiking, running marathons, weight lifting, Pilates, and happy hour. Like everyone, I've had my fair share of struggle with pain and injury: running ankle sprains, squatting knee pain, pelvic pain, tension headaches, and more. I've been there, and I'm here to help you in the same way.

Katherine is extremely detail oriented and explains the PT exercises very clearly. Her superpowers are knowledge of the human body, empathy, and listening/hearing her patients.
L.D.
Katherine is an incredible PT and has helped me exceed my goals beyond my wildest dreams. The pain is long gone and daily activities are nothing to worry about - I’m going on steep 5 mile hikes, getting back into tennis, and keeping up with my active family. Katherine’s deep knowledge base, enthusiasm, and curious yet disciplined approach helped me get back to the active CO lifestyle I once loved - injury free - and now I’m dreaming up big plans for my future!
S.B.
I am eternally grateful for her understanding and her expertise that served me greatly and continues to be a foundation for my continued healing. I feel much stronger and more flexible in my back, hips and neck as a result of my work with Katherine. She has been a true gift to me. Thank you Katherine for your professional PT abilities and your human touch.
Megan Richard
PT, DPT, CSCS
Doctor of Physical Therapy
Nice to meet you! I’m excited to work with you to get you back on track to living the life you love. I use a holistic and well-rounded approach with my patients considering the musculoskeletal system, functional mobility, mental and physical health, lifestyle, diet, hormone influence, and more. Pelvic health issues can be multifactorial and I recognize that there can be multiple factors leading to why you're seeking care. I care very deeply about my patients and am always determined to get to the root cause of what is holding you back.​
My 5+ years of experience in pelvic health physical therapy stems back into my family history of women’s health focused healthcare providers. This roots all the way back to my grandmother who worked as a labor and delivery nurse and started a long family tradition of working in women's health. Carrying on the family tradition, I decided to specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy and participated in training through the University of Pittsburgh’s renowned pelvic health residency program. This training in combination with my experience in general orthopedic physical therapy equipped me to help you with all things pelvic floor and more! My extensive experience and in-depth training has allowed me to work successfully with a variety of pelvic and orthopedic health conditions.
​
In my personal time, I love any activity that involves being outdoors or moving my body! I'm a classic Colorado weekend warrior and I’ve probably dabbled in every activity under the sun. Current favorites include snowboarding, hiking, yoga, weight lifting, and all community team sports. I know how frustrating it can be when your body isn't working quite right and how challenging it is to find the solution. I'm here to help you find the root of what's holding you back and get you back to doing what you love.

Megan is incredibly approachable and direct in her guidance—something I really appreciated as I was learning about an entirely new part of my body. Thanks to her support, I feel much more equipped to manage and reduce pain throughout the remainder of my pregnancy, and I’m more confident in my plan to attempt an unmedicated birth.
A.K.
Megan at Sage PT has been instrumental throughout my pregnancy. She takes the time to connect with patients and understand the whole person, and identifies and clearly communicates areas of needed improvement and support. Pelvic floor physical therapy work is a very intimate but extremely important part of pregnancy and postpartum, and Megan makes sure I feel safe and supported at all of our appointments. She has made a world of difference in both my pain management and prep work for birth and beyond!
R.L.
I was recommended Sage PT by a friend and would recommend Sage to anyone! I started PT services when I was ~5 months pregnant following a low back injury and significant pelvic pain. Megan problem solved with me until delivery to improve my pain and birthing experience. I am so appreciative of all the techniques she used and personalized therapy I received!
Kaitlyn Bailey
PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
Dr. Kaitlyn Bailey earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from The University of Toledo, and Bachelor of Science in Applied Health Sciences from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
​
Kaitlyn has a wide variety of clinical experience treating patients ages 10-100 with orthopedic and neurological conditions in outpatient, inpatient, and home settings. Kaitlyn’s interest in pelvic health began when seeing the significance of the pelvic floor in successful return to high level activities following back and hip injuries/surgeries in female athletes.
​
She has built on this experience with professional training in pelvic floor health through Herman & Wallace and in Functional Dry Needling through Evidence In Motion. Kaitlyn has a strong foundation for whole-body rehabilitation, utilizing manual therapy and individualized functional exercise prescription to facilitate recovery and prevent future injuries, empowering her patients to reach their goals and improve their quality of life. Outside of work, Kaitlyn enjoys going to the mountains to rock climb, hike, camp, mountain bike, and snowboard.​
D.S.
Kaitlyn Bailey is without question the most effective and compassionate physical therapist I have ever had. And I've had a lot of PT. I'm learning how to understand more about my own body and also receiving exceptional treatment.
B.K.
Kaitlyn is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. She is caring and professional, always asks how she can help and what is bothering the patient so she can tailor her treatment. She has copious knowledge about the whole body and is up on the current research. She has a fabulous "bedside" manner that could and should be emulated by all providers... She is the consummate best of the doctors and physicians I have seen over the years.
K.B.
Kaitlyn is magic! Pelvic floor PT is very personal and Kaitlyn makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. Not only does my body feel better after only a few sessions but she takes the time to explain the muscles impacted and how they connect. It is super helpful to better understand this so I can help myself when she's not around. Highly Recommend!
Hailey Bieghler
Patient Care Coordinator
Hey there—can’t wait to meet you! I may not be a physical therapist, but I am here to help you get reconnected with the life you love. As someone living with chronic pelvic pain, PCOS, and endometriosis, I know what it’s like to navigate life with a body that doesn’t follow the plan (or the calendar). That’s why I’m proud to be part of a clinic that doesn’t just talk the talk, but walks the walk (and stretches and foam-rolls) when it comes to genuinely caring for people and carrying out the promise to give you the individualistic, person centered care you deserve.
​
After finishing my Social Work practicum in Denver, I knew I couldn’t go back to the cornfields of Iowa, my home state (sorry, Iowa—the mountains were calling). I earned my B.S. in Social Work from Missouri Western State University—go Griffins! My passion for helping others has led me to work with folks from all walks of life, supporting them through trauma, big life changes, and the tangled messes of systemic challenges.
​
When I’m off the clock you’ll likely find me hopping between a variety of adventures: soaking up the sun in the great outdoors, catching waves (at the pool—don’t judge), thrifting, reading multiple books at once (will I finish any of them? Stay tuned), writing, gaming, being an amateur behind the camera, or laughing way too loudly with friends. I’m always on the hunt for a good cup of coffee. Got a favorite spot? Don’t be shy—spill the beans (pun 100% intended).
