Hi, I’m Kristie Mulder, PT, Founder and Owner of Firm Foundation Physical Therapy.

In opening Firm Foundation PT I wanted to offer the absolute best physical therapy experience patients could find. My patients are not another number, or appointment to “get through” in a day. They are a valuable person sitting in front of me with needs and concerns that I want to be able to address.

We spend time in every session talking through what my patients are concerned about and I work to explain everything clearly using pictures, descriptions, and demonstrations as needed. We talk about not just symptoms, but how they are impacting their life, how their exercises are going, and how we can tailor treatment to best accomplish their goals.

As we move into treatment, we do whatever hands on treatment is needed, then the rest of our time is spent on finding the specific exercises that are going to be most impactful for the patient and making sure they are confident to be able to do them at home until their next appointment.

My patients are busy. They don’t want to be stopping their life 3 times a week to come do the same exercises over and over. I typically schedule patients 1x/week allowing them to do their exercises at home and come back when they are ready for the next challenge. Of course if they need to come in more frequently, we do that, but it is a team decision, not me as the therapist pressuring them into a treatment plan that doesn’t work for their life.

I am the only therapist that my patients see. I never hand them over to another clinician, assistant, or technician, or have them doing exercises independently. I feel the continuity we get from working together every single time is far superior to seeing a different clinician and having to start over at every visit. I want efficient, high quality results for every single patient.

In order to do this, I had to break out of the traditional way that physical therapy clinics run. I moved away from insurance companies dictating treatment types, amounts and reimbursement. I don’t utilize any assistants or technicians so that your care is followed by a single provider for the most efficient results. And I moved away from a profit-focused care model. I’m not keeping you coming for sessions you don’t need, or selling you a package at the start to lock you into coming for a high number of sessions. You are a person who’s time and finances are valuable-not something to be taken advantage of.

So when you trust me with your PT care, know you are getting someone who cares about you. Not just your physical performance, but how that impacts your life-your ability to interact with friends and family, your mental health, your finances, and your schedule.
