Dr. Katie Palmer

PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

I grew up just outside of Richmond, VA and moved to Summerville, SC with my family in 2023. I received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2012 from Longwood University, a Master of Science in Health and Movement Sciences in 2016 from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2020 from University of Lynchburg. I have been working with athletes of all ages and skill levels throughout my career and have been passionate about returning my patients back to function whether that me on a court, on a field, or in daily life activities.

Core Values: I believe strongly that all individuals should be treated with kindness, love, and respect

What does Katie do?
I specialize in assessing movements and discovering where deficits are that make those movements difficult. I then address those deficits to ultimately return patients to their activities.

What conditions Katie likes treating?
Anything orthopedic related including back pain, knee pain, foot/ankle pain, and shoulder pain. I like to help return patients back to their daily function. Whether that be climbing stairs or competing in sports. I break down functional movements and find where patients struggle, and then do what I can to improve those movements.

What does Katie like about working at Renewal Therapeutics?
I love the people and patients I get to work with every day. We learn from each other and challenge each other which makes us better clinicians and better people

What does Katie enjoy doing when not working?
I love spending time with my husband and my three children. I enjoy going to the beach or pool and spending time outside. I also enjoy playing tennis and weight lifting

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
