She Does Tri Staff

Natalie King, PTA, CIMT, Guest Instructor

For the past 12 years Natalie has specialized in treating a wide range of athletes with a holistic “hands-on” manual approach to physical therapy. Graduating with high honors as first in her class from the Physical Therapy Assistant program at Montgomery College in 1996, she continued with extensive post graduate education, earning a certification in manual therapy in 2004. Natalie utilizes a comprehensive array of manual techniques to address biomechanical and neuromuscular deficiencies for performance enhancement, injury prevention and treatment. In addition she specializes in gait analysis and custom orthotics. She treats her clients at Schrier Physical Therapy in Gaithersburg, MD and recently developed the innovative AMPT program for athletes.

Natalie’s passion for athletics has inspired her to actively train and compete in triathlons in three different countries over the past seven years, consistently placing in the top 3 of her age group. She has been interviewed and quoted in Swimmer Magazine and has developed dry land training programs for coaches of elite level competitive swim teams. Among her clients are members of the US Long Course Triathlon Team and nationally ranked cyclists and runners. Natalie also works in close association with Elite Bicycles, a custom road and time trial bicycle manufacturer and professional fitter, with the goal of reducing injury and enhancing the client’s comfort and efficiency.
