Episode 91: Dr. Katherine Millis on Physical Therapy for Performing Artists

Creative Impact Podcast

My conversation today is with Dr. Katherine Millis, a Physical Therapist with a Certification in Sports and Orthopedic Manual Therapy (CSOMT). I love her passion for helping artistic athletes attain their personal goals. Dr. Millis earned her Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from Texas A&M University and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of the Incarnate Word. After graduating from PT school, she continued her education by pursuing her Certification in Sports and Orthopedic Manual Therapy (CSOMT), and she was a Fellow with the American Academy of Orthopedic and Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT).
As a dancer herself, Dr. Millis understands the specific needs of dancers and the benefits of working with a PT who understands dance. She is actually still performing professionally today, and she started her own business called Excelerate Physical Therapy! In our conversation, we talk about her journey as well as what it looked like to start her business in the midst of the pandemic. Dr. Millis gives practical tips for dancers and athletes, and we chat about how every aspect of our wellness is interrelated.
