Ann Knapp

(PT, MPT)

Ann graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 1994 after having attained both her undergraduate degree in Biology and her Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy. She has practiced locally in outpatient orthopedics for the past 26 years. Her passion is to keep patients active no matter their age or activity. Previously a competitive cyclist, she understands the pain and frustration of injury and enjoys working with athletes to help them maximize participation in their sport. She especially appreciates the geriatric population and problem-solving to allow this age group to remain independent and functioning safely in their living spaces. Finally, she has experience working with cancer patients and assisting with rehabilitation for cancer fatigue-related issues.

A true Northwest native, Ann was raised and still resides in Des Moines, WA. She appreciates and savors all that the area has to offer. When she is not working, she might be seen running, biking, skiing at Crystal Mountain, or paddling the Puget Sound. She and her husband homeschool their daughter and will admit they have met their ultimate challenge (and learned quite a bit along the way as well.)
