Kristin Sykes is the owner of Sports PT Lab. She has a passion for helping others and has been practicing physical therapy for 15 years. Graduating from George Washington University in 2009, she has helped many clients get back to doing the things they enjoy. A few of her specialties include running and movement analysis, movement re-training, dry needling, manual therapy, and of course, pep talks! She has gotten advanced certifications in Dry needling, USA weightlifting, Running analysis, Blood Flow Restriction Training, and much more.

Transformation occurs when you don't simply treat a body part, but provide clients with the tools they need to realize their dreams. She has helped clients run when they thought they would never run again, play tennis or throw when they hadn't been able to throw in years, and return to sport after a major injury. The path to healing is not always linear and you need help to overcome the hurdles and setbacks along the way. This is what makes my job satisfying, giving people the results they desire when they seemed completely out of reach. Clients often express how grateful they are to have me in their corner to navigate the unforeseen obstacles on the path to recovery.

Kristin has been playing sports her whole life including swimming, basketball, and soccer. She has participated in triathlons and completed two half Ironman races. She does distance trail and Spartan events as well as stand up paddle boarding. Currently she is focusing on strength training, running, and self care with regular use of the sauna. She believes it's important to push your boundaries and continue growing.  This can take place in the gym, learning from other experts, or even continuing education. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
