Old Bull Athletics is truly a special place. From the moment you walk in, it feels welcoming, supportive, and completely nonthreatening, regardless of your fitness level or what you may be dealing with physically.
My physical therapist, Dr. Katie Dabrowski, is absolutely amazing. Before coming to Katie, other healthcare professionals had told me to stop exercising because of my chronic migraines, which were often exacerbated by exercise. As someone who has been very active my entire life, losing the ability to exercise was incredibly difficult.
Over the last five years, Katie has patiently and thoughtfully helped me reintroduce movement and exercise back into my life. Because of her, I feel like I’m living again. I’m able to dance, rollerblade, take spinning classes, use the elliptical, and strength train, things I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to enjoy again.
Every strength training session with Katie is carefully curated based on how I’m feeling that day and what my body needs. She pays attention to every detail, and we always end with relaxing time on the table to help ensure that I leave feeling good and, most importantly, migraine free.
Katie has also become an incredible support system for me in so many areas of my health. Through unexpected minor injuries, vertigo, hormonal changes, and the ups and downs that come with managing chronic migraines, she has been the one consistent healthcare provider who has truly listened to me, taken my concerns seriously, and always found a way to help.
I am incredibly grateful for Katie and for Old Bull Athletics. They have given me back something that is such an important part of who I am, the ability to move, exercise, and enjoy being active again. I can’t recommend them enough.
