ABOUT ME

Karen Lovely, PT, DPT
Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist 

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.

​

I have been a licensed physical therapist since 2016.  I have work experience in private practice as well as hospital-based outpatient clinics.  My experience includes treating acute and chronic injuries while working with recreational athletes as well as older adults.  

​​

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.
