Karen S. Shuler PT, DPT

A physical therapist since 1991, Karen holds a bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy from the Medical University of South Carolina and a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Boston University. Prior to opening Lifestyle Physical Therapy, LLC, she treated patients in a variety of healthcare settings from hospitals to privately-owned clinics. It was during those years that Karen discovered the power of careful, one-on-one patient supervision that led to quicker, more thorough recovery and rehabilitation – the same foundational principles upon which she eventually built Lifestyle Physical Therapy. Today, Karen directs the Lifestyle staff with a clear emphasis on customized patient care. Karen uses McKenzie, Mulligan, Myofascial Release, kinesiotaping, Functional Dry Needling, and Amino Neuro Frequency techniques to guide her patients down a path of wellness. She has also been specially-trained by the Neural Recovery Network on body weight-supported treadmill walking and activity-based recovery, and holds certifications in Low-level laser therapy and the LSVT BIG Exercise Program and is certified in the Graston® Technique.
