Meet the Empowered Physical Therapy Team
Ken McGee, PT, DPT
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist
We are excited to introduce Dr. Ken (they/he), an outstanding Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist who has graciously stepped in to help Dr. Rachel while she is on maternity leave by providing temporary coverage for our new patient evaluations. Dr. Ken brings extensive knowledge and experience to our practice, holding a doctorate in physical therapy and being Board-Certified in Pelvic Floor Health.
In addition to his professional qualifications, Dr. Ken is also a dedicated birth doula and has personally experienced the journey of childbirth, having birthed two babies. His unique perspective and understanding make him exceptionally well-equipped to support our patients with empathy and expertise.
Empowered Physical Therapy’s trusted Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Assistants, Phoebe and Emmy, will continue to see patients for their follow-up visits, ensuring continuity of care and support.
We understand that meeting a new therapist can bring some apprehension, but we are confident that Dr. Ken’s professionalism, warmth, and firsthand experience with childbirth will help you feel comfortable and supported until Dr. Rachel’s anticipated return in October 2024.
