Katarina Karnas, PT, DPT, COMT, FAAOMPT

Clinic Director, Physical Therapist

“Establishing relationships with patients is something I find to be a key to successful treatment. I enjoy getting to know my patients individually to understand their needs and goals. With a hands-on approach, I can provide evidence-based services which help to achieve goals and foster independence. I want to see all of my patients return to doing all the activites they love to do!”

Katie, who is originally from Doylestown, PA, attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in 2015. After graduating, she worked in an outpatient physical therapy facility for a few years. She joined the Phoenix team in 2018 as clinic director and lead physical therapist for Phoenix’s outpatient physical therapy facility in Harrisburg, PA. She was an integral part of the overall development and growth of that facility. She now has taken on the same role in the Hanover clinic, in which she opened May of 2022. Katie continues to facilitate the development and growth of Phoenix Physical Therapy to help bring quality physical therapy care to the region. She resides in Hanover with her husband, Ben, and their cat, Toby.

Katie’s clinical expertise focuses on generalized outpatient orthopedics including post-surgical conditions, sports, work-related injuries, as well as chronic pain and other conditions. She has earned her distinction as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy. A “Fellow” is a physical therapist who has demonstrated advanced clinical, analytical, and hands-on skills in the treatment of musculoskeletal orthopedic disorders and is nationally recognized for their competence and expertise in the practice of manual physical therapy. She is excited to be a part of the community!
