Kristen Roark, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

“I believe that each patient should be treated as a unique individual. I strive to develop treatment plans that combine clinician expertise with patient goals to attain the highest outcomes. I believe that physical therapy is not only defined by its short-term treatment period, but should carry over to everyday life in order to improve current status, prevent future injury, and improve your overall quality of life.”

Kristen joined Phoenix Physical Therapy in December 2020. She has worked in the outpatient setting since graduating with her doctorate in 2014. Her doctoral program had a strong orthopedic curriculum including extensive training of the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). Kristen’s passions lie in a broad range of outpatient orthopedics and vestibular therapy. She has had training in vestibular and concussion therapy, earning a Vestibular Rehabilitation Certification through the American Institute of Balance. In addition, Kristen is a certified ImPACT Trained Physical Therapist and a certified provider of Dry Needling for musculoskeletal dysfunction. Kristen places great emphasis on patient goals to improve quality of life and well-being.
