Dr. Kaitlyn Labberton, PT, DPT


Physical Therapist, Owner

Kaitlyn received her Bachelor of Arts from Emory University, graduating with highest honors in Dance and Movement Studies. After a two-year professional dance stint in New York City, she returned to Columbia University where she earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. She quickly recognized she loved working with the prenatal and peripartum populations, and went on to receive her CAPP-OB from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a specialty in Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Therapy. In 2019, she became a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy from the APTA. She has also received her post-doctoral training in pelvic health and pelvic floor physical therapy through the Herman & Wallace Institute.

Kaitlyn is passionate about being an advocate for women and mothers after many personal rehabilitation struggles and challenges. She frequently heard from active, busy women that they had barriers to receiving quality treatment, and wanted to develop a well-rounded model in which orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy could be offered in one place. She launched ReclaimHER to provide this platform for excellent and customized care for females. She regularly attends continuing education courses in orthopedics, women’s sports medicine and pelvic health, merging her passions and staying up-to-date on current research. Above all, she wants to provide compassion and education for women in various phases of life and empower them to take control of their physical health.

In her free time, Kaitlyn enjoys yoga, spinning, traveling (minus hauling the kiddo’s belongings), baking, iced coffee and outdoor meals. She recently became a new mom in January 2022 and is incredibly humbled to now be on the other side of her own postpartum journey.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “I would recommend Kaitlyn exclusively to any person who is preparing to be pregnant, is pregnant, postpartum, or has birthed children! When I say she changed my life, it is not an exaggeration. Her knowledge is extensive and her approach combining orthopedic and pelvic floor therapeutics should be the gold standard. I have been managing a back injury resulting from my first pregnancy in 2018 that had limited my day to day functionality and my ability to physically keep up with my kids in the way I wanted to. Kaitlyn's personal approach to my specific situation has not only helped me understand my injury and body mechanics, she has also given me strategies to address discomfort and build strength to prevent pain. Among many therapists, chiropractors, physicians and beyond, she is the one who has made a difference and given me back both confidence in my body and freedom to move safely again (and pick up my growing babies!!) Thank you!!”

  • "I felt so comfortable in Kaitlyn's care! I sought her out for knee pain while training for a half marathon. Being a novice in the running world, I really didn't know what to expect by seeing a PT, but it was better than I hoped for! Kaitlyn was very welcoming and listened carefully as I shared my concerns. She provided immediate relief through assessment and massage, suggested short-term strategies to get through the race as well as some ideas for longer term health. I also appreciate that Kaitlyn is well-versed in pelvic floor health. As a woman and mom of two, I know how important pelvic floor health is to my overall health. I will absolutely be returning for ongoing care."

  • "Whenever a postpartum client needs a referral for pelvic health, Kaitlyn's name is always at the top of my list. Her extensive knowledge as a Doctor of Orthopedic Physical Therapy with a specialization in Pelvic Health and Pelvic Floor PT make her an excellent choice for women to understand their pelvic health in their postpartum bodies. Her clinical style is warm, grounded, and incredibly thorough. My clients love how much knowledge they gain from her, even if it's just from one visit!"

  • “Seeing Kaitlyn at ReclaimHER was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself. When I found out I was expecting my second child, I knew immediately I wanted to try for a VBAC. At the recommendation of my midwife, I sought out a pelvic floor physical therapist who could help me overcome some of the anxiety I had around labor and prepare my body. Working with Kaitlyn opened my eyes to better understand how the mind and body work together and also the physical experience I could anticipate with labor. Our weekly sessions built up my confidence and gave me the tools I needed to labor as comfortably as possible. I successfully delivered my daughter via VBAC, and had a wonderful birth experience and recovery — and I attribute much of that positive outcome to Kaitlyn’s expertise and our work together. I highly recommend working with her!”
