Dr. Korey Pieper

Korey finished her Doctor of Physical Therapy at University of Southern California (USC) in 2006. She decided to pursue physical therapy after her second knee surgery. Not only to help others recovery from injuries, but to prevent people from getting sidelined in the first place!

She is our full body Active Release Techniques provider. She finds this treatment especially effective for overuse of the knee, neck, and shoulder.

Korey fell in love with running after she hung up her soccer cleats. She has run a few marathons and has run many half marathons.  She believes that with proper muscle balances around the joints, she can continue running despite her history of 4 knee surgeries, including 3 ACL reconstructions. Yoga, Pilates, and Strength Training have become important in exercise regimen to help maintain her strength and flexibility.

She opened Go Beyond Physical Therapy in 2017 with a vision of changing the way physical therapy treatments are provided. She believes that to get better faster, treatments should be with the physical therapist, not other staff members.

Outside the clinic, Korey enjoys cooking, gardening, travelling, scuba diving, playing with her kids, and is active with her kids sports teams.
