Dr. Kara Schulte PT, DPT
Owner, Simply Strong PT, PLLC
Hey y’all, I’m Kara, an energetic, on-the-go boy- and dog-mama who loves kids, fitness and helping others. After receiving my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from THE Ohio State University in 2010 (Go Buckeyes!), I’ve practiced in multiple states and settings, with the last near-decade of my professional practice being in outpatient pediatric physical therapy.
An athlete and gym rat my whole life, I’m passionate about health and fitness; my goal is to build positive, trusting relationships with everyone I work with, to help them live simply strong. In addition to a doctorate in physical therapy and specialization in pediatric physical therapy, I hold a personal training certification from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). As a Charlotte, NC physical therapist and personal trainer, I offer flexible services to families and individuals.
When I’m not working, I’m just trying to be simply strong and keep up with my two young boys and German Shepherd! My husband and I recently relocated to Charlotte, NC, after 8 years in Austin, TX, and we enjoy exploring the outdoors, and cheering on our beloved Ohio sports teams.
Bernard “Bernie” Schulte
Available upon request, this people-loving canine serves as an excellent motivator for clients and gladly accepts any challenge that involves running, jumping, ball play and treats. Bernie also enjoys patrolling the yard for squirrels, long uninterrupted naps and cleaning floors after toddler meal time. Bernie stays simply strong by going for as many walks as possible and stealing exercise mats for core workouts (aka belly rubs).
