Sports have been a part of Karla's life for years—first as a basketball player for Texas Women's University, and now as physical therapist to local athletes. Karla graduated from Texas Women's University in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in physical therapy, then headed out west to Seattle.
Karla is a shoulder specialist, and her talents aren't limited there! She also enjoys treating general orthopedics and has extensive experience in Sports Medicine and post-operative rehabilitation. Karla served as the team physical therapist and head Athletic Trainer for the pro women's soccer team, the Seattle Sounders, in 2007 and 2008. Her expertise sees no age, and for her entire career Karla has utilized her passion for sports medicine by working with local High School athletes.
Karla's interests span the outdoors all year round. She loves anything snow-related, scuba diving, hunting, and fishing. She had a long career in competitive basketball and softball, but these days, Karla volunteers her time and know-how to coaches and players at local athletic clubs, teaching injury prevention.
