Kevin Plattner, DPT

(he/him)

Kevin earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at UIC in 2018. His treatment approach is rooted in evidence, and follows a three-part trajectory. It emphasizes modifying movements to get out of pain. Then growing the repertoire of patterns so there are more options for how to move. And finally, getting stronger to re-acclimate to the load demands of your activity.

Kevin draws from his extensive knowledge of human movement and relies heavily on resistance exercise to assist with treatment. He is also influenced by his background in holistic movement practices including yoga and t'ai chi. His manual therapy approach includes soft tissue treatment grounded in his studies of Thai bodywork, and also employs joint mobilization strategies. Movement optimism is foundational to his treatment philosophy.

He enjoys riding his bicycle, bouldering, juggling, gardening, playing music, baking, and playing with his young children.
