Hi! I am so glad that you found this blog! My name is Dr. Katie Perrone, and I am a doctor of physical therapy. I graduated from the University of Hartford in 2014. For the first few years of my career, I bounced around. I thought I was going to be a travel physical therapist, but then landed in a skilled nursing facility for some time in Torrington, CT. Then I jumped to outpatient when I wanted something different, but didn't last long because of the lack of quality care provided in that setting. I then held a few per diem PT jobs at the same time in a couple of different skilled nursing facilities, and opened up Live Without Limits part time in 2017. I also eventually took a 30 hour position at a great SNF in Simsbury, CT while I was running Live Wi. out Limits part time as well on the weekends and after my full time job.
In 2020, when COVID-19 hit and I got sick and was in the middle of all of the chaos with it all in the SNF and dealing with immunocompromised people, I realized I wasn't fully happy. I still was too scared to make the jump into my business full time though. Then at the end of 2020, I had a simple hand surgery, that was supposed to take 1 month to recover from. I ended up with some complications with how my tendons healed and I ended up being out of work for months. During that time off from work, it helped me to realize the things that were actually important to me, both personally and professionally. When I finally got cleared from my orthopedic surgeon, I had already had to give up my position as a PT at the SNF, because I had been out longer than my FMLA allowed for. They told me when I was ready, I could apply back to my position if I would like. And when I got cleared, I realized it wasn't fully what I would like to do. That was when I decided to jump all in on Live Without Limits.
Live Without Limits is a physical therapy and wellness company that treats every single client the way that they deserve to be treated. Each person is treated one on one for an hour every single time. There is no insurance game to play and not only will you get better, but you will crush your goals, and then stay better too. I created Live Without Limits to provide a PT place for people where they were treated as an actual person and individual, and not just as a number or a paycheck. Each person has their own needs and goals and limitations, and it is so important that your PT is tailored specifically to you and only you every single time. During our session, you get undivided attention every single time and manual therapy interventions that you wouldn't get in your "typical" PT setting. You get the care you should be getting and that you deserve to be getting.
Live Without Limits is a unique PT and wellness experience located in Blue Back Square in West Hartford, CT and it is my absolute privilege and honor to have you not only reading this, but also to help you! If you have questions or want me to address something specific, just get in touch with me and I am happy to talk more about it! EVERYBODY can benefit from skilled physical therapy interventions - whether it's preventative, before a surgery/injury, or after, or even to continue getting stronger after you have recovered, PT is for everybody!
So welcome to Live Without Limits Physical Therapy and Wellness, and the blog that will give you the details that you want and need to live your life, (you guessed it) without limits! Thanks for being here!
- Dr. Katie
