Kalli Seibert, PT, DPT, CLT

I chose to become a physical therapist because I believe that all people, regardless of their identities, deserve the ability to participate in their lives without physical limitations. I’m committed to meeting people where they are at and creating a plan that is individualized and collaborative, working with my patients to reach their personal goals. My philosophy of care is that, as a provider, I need to recognize the uniqueness of my patients and how their life experiences, identities and personal attributes shape how they navigate health care and their lives. I believe it is my responsibility to recognize those differences and work to provide empathetic and inclusive care. My areas of special interest include urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, neurologic bowel and bladder, ante- and postpartum care, as well as lymphedema and other secondary cancer-related impairments. Outside of work, I really enjoy moving my body whether that be in a dance class, in a gym, or while walking my dog on our favorite trails. I am also a huge nerd and enjoy watching movies and television shows with my husband. Lastly, I really enjoy baking and cooking. My time in the kitchen is a sacred place for me to unwind after work and on the weekends.

I chose to become a pelvic health physical therapist to provide knowledge and relief to patients with under-discussed impairments. I enjoy celebrating patient success and giving them the knowledge and tools they need to manage their symptoms. I thoroughly enjoy treating many pelvic populations, including those who are pregnant and postpartum. This population can be too often overlooked, and I enjoy guiding physical activity through this time when their body is undergoing tremendous changes. I also specialize in treating pediatrics regarding pelvic health issues, including urinary leakage with activity, bed wetting and constipation. Above all, I believe in listening to my patients and having a collaborative care plan that aims to meet their self-identified physical therapy goals. Throughout my career, I have learned the value of evidence-based and personalized care to improve quality of life for my patients. I also believe it is imperative to apply guided exercise that considers the whole body to reach patient goals with lasting effects. Outside of work, I love to read a book cuddling my dog and cat. I love to be outdoors hiking, kayaking, and traveling with my husband. Being a native of North Carolina, I enjoy all the state has to offer from the mountains to the beach.

I became a Physical Therapist because I wanted to help people. I shifted my focus to pelvic health because I love making a huge impact in people's day to day life, especially in an area where they often think there's nothing that can be done. Talking about things like sex and incontinence can be difficult and embarrassing and I love working in a field where these topics aren't considered taboo.
