Becky Kissinger, PT, DPT, Pilates Instructor

Certified in Dry Needling

​

I’m a life-long resident of the Kiel area and grew up learning to work hard on my family’s dairy farm.  Beyond working with family from a young age, I developed a passion for sports which fostered my desire to assist individuals return to daily life after injury.  I attended Concordia University-Wisconsin to finish out my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and continue in their graduate school where I earned my Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy in 2010.  Since then, I have been practicing in outpatient orthopedic clinics within the surrounding areas as a general practitioner.  During the course of continuing education I have been certified in dry needling as another modality to use in my treatments for pain and immobility.  Recently I became interested in Pilates after being introduced to the program in early 2022 by a co-worker and it’s profound overlap with physical therapy.  I have recently become interested in learning more about women's pelvic health as there is a great need for this to be addressed as well.  Too often it seems women take it as normal to have incontinence or other pelvic issues that are never fully addressed and fall through the cracks of our current health care system.

 

Pilates pairs very well with physical therapy as it focuses on the individual and their ability to improve both kinesthetic and proprioceptive awareness.  In layman's terms, knowing where your body is and what it is doing in space.  Increasing an individual's understanding of posture, core and trunk strength, flexibility and overall progressive strengthening.
