Practice Human, Llc

I started doing physical therapy with Caitlin Casella at Practice Human for arthritis in my right knee and was dazzled by her understanding of my physical problems and the simple, direct and elegant way that she addressed them. Her work as a therapist combined a comprehensive anatomical knowledge with deep, laser-sharp instincts with a focus on moving, strengthening and, thereby, reducing inflammation. After my knee and the muscles around my knee got strong enough to have me doing 8 and 10 mile hikes and full out yoga practice, I signed on to her kettlebell basics course. For a woman over 50 who wants to have healthy longevity with freedom of movement, Caitlin Casella is a magic elixir. You have to follow her instructions, of course, but the results will astound you.

Caitlin’s thoughtful, individualized approach is so refreshing. She listens, she runs some tests, she explains clearly without ever being condescending, and then works with you one-on-one. You’re never passed off to anyone else to do repetitive, mindless exercises. Caitlin has ruined me for any other PT. It’s like flying first class — you can’t go back to coach without knowing what you’re missing. Speaking of exercises, don’t miss out on her small group strength programs focused on women over 40. She applies that same approach and for the first time in my life I am energized and excited about strength training. No matter your capabilities or equipment avails, there’s a way to start and make it work. I’d like to gatekeep Caitlin but I just couldn’t live with myself. Run, don’t walk!
