Optimizing Human Movement

ABOUT ME

I am Karen Lovely, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, orthopaedic clinical specialist, endurance athlete, mother of twins, and owner of Beta Stride Physical Therapy.  

​

I understand injuries and their impact on our physical and emotional wellbeing.  I have been a passionate track and road runner since high school and dove into ultra trail running while more recently living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I started rock climbing in 2007.  While I initially explored sport, trad and ice climbing, I currently focus on indoor and outdoor sport climbing.  At Beta Stride Physical Therapy, I complement my love for physical pursuits with a deep intellectual curiosity about the human body.

​

At Beta Stride Physical Therapy, I am dedicated to optimizing human movement through individualized, one-on-one care. I am committed to helping you feel stronger, perform better, and feel empowered in your body.

Learn more here: Why pay cash for physical therapy if I have health insurance>> 

 

We currently do not accept insurance and provide cash-based services only.  We accept cash, check and credit card for payment. This allows us to directly work with and for you rather than working for a third party.  We follow this model because we believe it allows us to optimize our treatment without administrative barriers.  We can focus on one-on-one care, provide hour long appointments, and hopefully help you feel better faster and with fewer total appointments than a traditional in-network system.  You are welcome to request a superbill after your visit and you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement, if allowed by your insurance provider.  We recommend you confirm out-of-network coverage directly with your insurance provider if you are interested in pursuing reimbursement.
