Katie is on the right

Hello, My name is Katie Larson and I have been with OSI Physical Therapy for 8 years.  I work in our Stillwater Office and truly love my job.  I have a lot of fun and look forward to coming to work.  Each day brings more laughter.  The majority of my case load is the running athlete.  I am a runner myself, so I can relate to runners on their level. I have ran many races, everything from 5K to Marathons.  My favorite distance is 1/2 marathons (all the fun with 1/2 the training).  I have treated many marathon runners, high school cross country runners, and every other level in between.  When treating runners it is important to watch them run, so I often will video tape runners while they run and analyze their form and technique.

I am a sports clinical specialist, which is a certification given out by the American Physical Therapy Association that distinguishes PTs as experts in the field of sports physical therapy.  I am also a certified strength and conditioning coach.  My expertise and passion is working with athletes of all levels.  I am always keeping up with the latest research to get athletes back to their sport as quick as possible.  I also have a great relationship with Perpetual Motion Gymnastics.  I am at the gymnastics facility on average 1 time/week working with the athletes and the injuries that come from being a high level gymnast.  I am not a gymnast, but I am amazed each time I watch them perform.

Walkign-with-child-Katie-Larson-Physical-Therapy-at-OSIWhen I am not working I am a busy Mom of 3.  Devin (5 years), Lucas (3 years), and Alyssa (2 years) are amazing kids that I love spending time with each day.  We are busy, but that is why it is so much fun.  My husband’s name is Brent.  He is a PT that works from home and coaches Somerset Boys Varsity Basketball team.
