about me
Hi, I’m Dr. Kate Bochnewetch PT, DPT, aka “The Running DPT”!
I’m a physical therapist, run, and strength coach living with hEDS, POTS, and chronic migraine, and I work exclusively with runners living with chronic illness and/or pain!
As a lifelong runner and mover, chronic illness diagnosis prompted me to change the way I view exercise, running, and its role in my life. I’m on a mission to help runners living with chronic illness/pain stop fighting against themselves and start finding balance!
here's what clients have been saying...
“Working with you the past two years has been an incredible experience and I’ve learned so much and built so much confidence and strength (physical and mental) with your support and guidance. Following you brought me deeper into what I consider the “holistic running community”, and that has irreversibly shaped my perspective on the sport and lifestyle.”
“I am really starting to notice how much stronger my body is feeling compared to before I started working with you. I feel like I’m more confident just moving through life and feel more protected with some more muscle.”
“Thanks for supporting my changing goals in running in a way that’s sustainable for me 🙂 from running a half marathon to getting through the winter lol.”
“I can lift weights and take up space in the gym without being intimidated. I am forever grateful to you and your accountable yet gentle coaching.”
