Hi! My name is Katie.
Dr. Katie Torbeck grew up in Fairfield, Ohio attending Badin High School. She grew up playing soccer, basketball, and golf. She was introduced to physical therapy early in her life through a series of injuries and fell in love with the profession. She proceeded to attend the University of Dayton for her undergraduate degree before returning to Cincinnati and the University of Cincinnati for her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. After completing her graduate education, Katie went on to complete a residency to further develop her knowledge and skillset, earning board certification in orthopedic physical therapy.
After residency, Katie returned to the greater Cincinnati area and earned her certification in Integrative Dry Needling. Since returning to the Cincinnati area Katie has been adjunct faculty for the University of Cincinnati's Doctorate of Physical Therapy program, helping teach in the orthopedic curriculum. She has recently transitioned to a full-time teaching position at UC, but loves to work part time and continue to help others.
As a lifelong golfer, Katie has a special interest in golf and has been certified by the Titleist Performance Institute as a Level 2 medical provider. This means Katie has taken extra efforts and studies to handle the special needs of the golfing athlete.
Katie founded oPTimal Drive Physical Therapy to better serve the community. As an out of network provider, Katie can provide the type of care you need rather than have insurance contracts dictate what she can do with/for you. Katie wants to meet you at your level and develop a program to help you return to the activities you love and improve performance along the way!
