Hear From the Performers We've Worked With

"Kristen was able to work with me with compassion and understanding to identify the root cause. Her knowledge of the body and mind and how they work together is outstanding. Kristen gives you confidence that you will be able to get back to your sport or activity."
Mary Ann SmithBallet Dancer, Pickleball Player, Hiker and Grandma
"Kristen saw me through minor and major injuries including a post-surgical rehab. She not only kept me in one piece, but she ensured I returned to dance stronger than when I came in to see her. Without her, I would not have been able to meet the high physical and mental challenges of a collegiate-level dance program as well as navigate the early years of a professional career in dance. Every step of the way, I could tell Kristen believed in me and therefore I believed in myself."
Sophie AllenProfessional Dancer
"As a lifelong dancer and athlete, a labral tear in my hip was devastating. In January I could barely walk, much less dance. Kristen's dance-focused approach to PT evaluated me on how my injury was impacting my ability to dance, and she provided targeted, dance-specific exercises to literally get me back on my feet. 10 months after my injury I am dancing to my fullest potential. I am eternally grateful for Kristen's incredible work."
Claire ShuddeCompetitive Dancer

Common Questions

Your Workshop Questions, Answered

For single-session workshops, at least 6–8 weeks is generally sufficient. For full-day programs, company health days, or recurring curriculum development, 12 weeks gives enough lead time for content customization and logistics. Reach out as early as possible for annual or recurring engagements.

Yes. Most single-session and multi-topic workshops are available in virtual format. Some hands-on components (screening demonstrations, movement workshops) work better in person. We’ll discuss what’s practical for your topic and format on your initial call.
Yes — this is a common and effective combination. A half-day or full-day program can include morning screenings and an afternoon educational workshop, or vice versa. The screening data often makes the educational content more meaningful because participants have just received their own results.

Yes. Dr. Schuyten has presented at APTA, IADMS, PAMA, MTNA, and the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy, among others. Conference session proposals and invited presentations are available — contact us with the details of your event.
