Karen Litzy, Physical Therapist: I started my physical therapy career in an inpatient hospital in Scranton, Pa and after a few years I moved to New York City. Since relocating to NYC, I have worked for the New York public school system, Broadway musicals and orthopedic outpatient clinics. Although I thoroughly enjoyed working in all of these settings, I always felt like I could do more to serve my clients. That thought, along with an overwhelming amount of requests to see clients in their home or office, lead me to create a “concierge” physical therapy practice. This unique model allows me to dedicate a full hour of one-on-one treatment with my clients and offers ample time to evaluate, treat, re-evaluate, and provide vital client education, and instruct in a comprehensive home education program.
