Caitlin Barritt
PT, DPT, OCS, Director
Treating Clinics: Boulder
Caitlin was born and raised in Vermont. At 13 years old she decided she wanted to be a physical therapist when she grew up. And a short 10 years later - that's what she would become. Caitlin went to undergraduate and PT school at Simmons College in Boston, graduating in 2001. She drove out west and settled in Boulder and has been here happily ever since.
​
Outside the clinic, Caitlin spends much of her time with her two young children, teaching them to be good bikers and hikers. She rises early to get in her kickboxing and resistance training before anyone else is awake!

Interests

Interests
Treatment Philosophy
Caitlin has strong manual skills from soft tissue techniques to joint mobilizations as well as incorporating trigger point dry needling (TDN) to help reduce pain and improve function of muscles. Exercise prescription is another important component for patients to be active participants in their recovery and to further their rehab on their own.
