EXPERTISE

Hi, I’m Kim, a licensed physical therapist from the University of Illinois, and a certified canine rehabilitation specialist (PT, DPT, CCRP).  

Also, I’m a lifetime dog person and founder of Lucky Dog (all because of my dog, Obi).

As Obi got older and noticeably slowed down, he showed me there was a real need for canine PT rehabilitation. So, I decided to become a certified canine rehabilitation specialist to help Obi.

Inspired by his improved quality of life with therapy, I became determined to provide other dogs the same opportunity to improve their lives. Hence, Lucky Dog! mobile rehab for increased mobility.

With my love of dogs, combined with my experience in orthopedic practice focused primarily on at-home health settings, I believe I’m distinctly qualified to bring in-home PT rehabilitation to others in need. Specifically, dogs. Like your dog.

Rose is a Shih-tzu rescue who was diagnosed with bilateral grade II subluxing patellas.

With regular therapy/strengthening and massage, Rose is living her best life running around Chicago and hiking in the mountains.
