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, which I received 5 years ago. Pelvic health physical therapy requires post-graduate training, which I have accumulated extensively over the past 5 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.
S.M.
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.
E.F.
Katherine brings a fresh perspective to PT. During my time with Katherine, it was clear she is knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Katherine connected dots for me related to my women's health issues that I never knew before.
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."

Nice to meet you! I’m super 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 functional mobility, mental and physical health, lifestyle, diet, hormone influence, and so much more. I care very deeply about my patients and am always determined to get to the root cause of what is holding you back.
​
I received my B.S. in Exercise Physiology from West Virginia University near my home city in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I then went on to become a NASM certified personal trainer which inspired me to get my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Nova Southeastern University. I come from a family of women’s health focused healthcare providers rooting all the way back to my grandmother who worked as a labor and delivery nurse. Carrying on the family tradition, I decided to specialize in women’s health and 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 background in general orthopedic physical therapy equipped me to help you with all things pelvic floor and more!
​
In my personal time, I love any activity that involves being outdoors or moving my body! My newest hobbies that I’ve been getting into are running and pickleball. I’ve probably dabbled in every activity under the sun and some of my favorites include snowboarding, skiing, hiking, yoga, weight lifting, paddle boarding, biking, and all community team sports. Colorado is an incredible place to be active and enjoy life so I’m here to help keep you moving and get you back to the lifestyle you love.
