Meet Dr. Karri

Your biggest cheerleader

As a past cheerleader at this very gym, Dr. Karri West understands the unique movements and strains that affect the performance of a cheer athlete. Dr. Karri’s knowledge of sport-specific rehab/ prevention, athletic recovery and whole person wellness will set your athlete up for success!

Dr. Karri’s goals are to meet each athlete right where they are and build a trusting relationship with them while she improves their performance.

We’re here to help

Our comprehensive services include a Redcord suspension system that is tailor-made for isolating potential strains and strengthening muscles involved in the various twisting and gymnastic type movements. This is a very unique service that you will not find at your average PT clinic.

Dr. Karri is also very passionate about wellness and active recovery providing tools for cheerleaders to use to prevent injury. Such as oscillating Theraguns, Normatech pressure boots, and soon, cold and hot therapy for athletes and their families.

RECOVERY

WELLNESS

We’re not your typical physical therapy clinic

We’re on a mission to make physical therapy fun

Physical therapy usually means that you are hurt or injured and are about to endure weeks of pain, all while sitting out on what you love to do.

General PT will normally be provided by someone who has no knowledge of the physical needs of a high-level competitive cheerleader. Cheerleading has been associated with some of the highest level of injuries for young females and yet, cheerleading receives no specific care and PT training.

We’re here to change that.

Our unique, personalized approach to physical therapy at West & Well is unlike any other. We look beyond the surface to the root of the injury and dysfunction. We want to personalize your treatment plan to your specific needs and incorporate methods that are unique to your sport and body. This can even start before injury occurs in your recovery and wellness.

Oh and did I mention we do it in a super fun and energetic manner located conveniently inside of the cheer gym? Long gone are the days where you dread going to therapy!

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “My daughter suffered a quad injury at cheer practice a few weeks before a big competition and Karri was an absolute life saver! She used dry needling and cupping on her quad and it made a world of difference and allowed her to compete with confidence at the competition. Karri’s vast knowledge and superior communication is an asset in the wellness injury, we highly recommend her services.” – Susan N.

    “I learned a lot by going to see Dr. Karri. She is amazing! She is great with the red rope therapy and dry needling. What a difference! He also includes helpful hints and suggests a few supplements. I wish I had known about her years ago! It is life-changing!” – Patty C.

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “About a month ago I was doing a workout when I accidentally tweaked my back, and it wasn’t long before it was painful to get up from a seat or walk around. Thankfully I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Karri the next day. She placed three dry needles into my back and it was like magic! After the session, I could move around pain-free and was even back to working out in two days. It was AMAZING. I never thought dry-needling could make such a difference.” – Erin W.

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    Dr. Karri West does amazing work! My 13 year old daughter started physical therapy with Dr. West due to a hip injury that is common in female athletes going through puberty. This injury was preventing her from being able to tumble in her cheerleading routine. After just one session, my daughter felt improvement with her pain. She worked with Dr. West for several weeks and she is back to 100% pain free tumbling. Dr. West also gave her exercises to complete at home and these have helped build the muscle necessary to prevent further injury and pain. When we went back to see the doctors at Children’s Hospital they could not believe how successfully my daughter had healed from the injury. This was all due to Dr. West. I would recommend her services to anyone needing physical therapy, but especially for teen girls!! —Dani M
