In this episode, the Ski Moms sit down with Kathleen Doehla, a physical therapist and founder of Points North Sports and Regenerative PT in Stowe, Vermont. Kathleen shares her  journey from a terrified beginner who crashed into the Spruce Peak base lodge to becoming a confident skier and respected PT specializing in orthopedic and sports medicine injuries.  With 26 years of experience, Kathleen discusses the critical importance of physical therapy homework. She breaks down common ski injuries, prevention strategies, and when to seek professional help. 

The conversation also covers Vermont's healthcare challenges, the evolution of physical therapy degrees, and practical tools every ski mom should have at home. Kathleen also shares her favorite Stowe recommendations, from Raja Indian food to the Cliff House at the top of the gondola, and her go-to après ski spot - the Après Cocktail Lounge for hot cocktails and chicken nachos.

"I would say any injury or illness or condition that is preventing you from living your fullest life" [is worth seeing a PT for].

"I think it's about learning to live a full life with imperfection and don't expect to be perfect necessarily. You know, everybody's managing something."

"So I would recommend to that person that they go see a PT for one session. You don't have to commit to months of it and just see what they have to say."
