Indiana

Newburgh

Our fifth location, in historic Downtown Newburgh, was established in order to provide a change from the norm of physical therapy in the region. We wanted people to be able to see the difference between just getting physical therapy and having a physical therapist – one professional who listens and understands your personal needs and takes time to explain what is going on and why in order to provide the most effective care.

This clinic provides an optimal place for rehabilitation following sports and running injuries, post-operative care, return to activity, and daily living. Morgan is excited to bring personalized physical therapy, along with running analyses and personal training services, to the people of this region.

Kate, a native of Sesser, IL, is an associate professor in the Doctor of Physical Therapy and PhD in Health Education programs at the University of Evansville. She received her Bachelor and Master of Physical Therapy degrees from the University of Evansville and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Regis University in Denver, CO. She completed her PhD at the University of Kentucky, and her research interests include trunk stability in active women, fitness programming for individuals with disabilities, and empathy in future healthcare providers.

Kate has additional certifications in the Functional Movement Screen, Hardstyle Kettlebell, Functional Dry Needling and strength and conditioning. She loves working with athletes that are preparing for an upcoming event or season, women returning to fitness postpartum, and anyone struggling with chronic injuries.

Kate enjoys all things fitness—running, cycling, hiking, weight lifting, indoor rock climbing, etc—but she especially loves spending time with her 3 active kids.

Morgan, a native of Milltown, IN, graduated from the University of Evansville with a Bachelors degree in Exercise and Sports Science in 2012 and with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) in 2015.

She would like patients to feel that our team cares about them and treats them like family. She feels that each experience a patient has with us should be positive and rewarding. Morgan provides detailed running analysis for patients and incorporates various techniques for running correctives.

She enjoys eating all variations of food, visiting friends and family, and traveling and vacationing to South Carolina. She has a fur baby named Ryder. He is a shepherd-shar pei mix who loves sleeping and treats almost as much as she does.

Mattie is a Native of Vincennes, Indiana. She graduated from the University of Evansville with her bachelor’s in athletic training in 2021 and earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2023. During her time at the University of Evansville, she was actively involved in working with the Purple Aces and local high school athletic teams. She also enjoyed spending her time volunteering for the Physical Therapy Program’s Pro Bono organization, Ace CARE.

Mattie was drawn to the field of physical therapy because of her passion for health and wellness, developing relationships with patients, and serving her community. She particularly enjoys education and loves to learn new things. She hopes that she can teach you more about the world of physical therapy and that in turn you will teach her more about your area of interest.

In her free time, Mattie loves watching sports, particularly football and basketball, and is a big New England Patriots fan. She enjoys taking walks, reading, and spending time with friends and family. For fun, she has recently started learning to golf and trying to cook new recipes. She is very excited to join the RPI family and to begin meeting people in her new home of Newburgh!

Jenna first moved to Indiana in 2014 after growing up in New Jersey. She graduated from The College of New Jersey with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science and received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Rutgers University. She went on to complete the sports residency at The University of Evansville (UE) and is a board-certified sports specialist.

Jenna believes that people should be able to keep doing what they love for as long as possible. She is passionate about helping patients do more than they ever thought possible and loves to be a part of that journey. She loves learning and if you ask what she is currently reading there is a chance she will tell you more than you ever wanted to know.

Jenna can be persuaded to try any sport or physical activity. She loves to hike, climb, and play golf (despite being a frustrated rookie). She previously served as the team PT for the women’s basketball and women’s volleyball team at UE and now is working toward becoming their superfan. She loves the New York Giants, peanut M&M’s, and visiting National Parks.

Testing. Jake also holds certifications in Functional Dry Needling and Strength and Conditioning.

Jake is committed to helping his patient’s reach their fitness goals and meeting new levels of performance. He is excited to impact the local community through RPI. When not working, Jake loves traveling with his family, attempting to DIY house projects, spend time outdoors hunting and fishing, competing in disc golf, and watching or playing basketball.

Christin is originally from Cleveland, OH but attended the University of Evansville for her undergraduate and graduate schooling. Most recently Christin has been traveling the country providing physical therapy treatment to the company members of the National Touring production of ‘Wicked.’ Prior to this she had clinical experience at EXOS preparing the rookie class for the 2022 NFL Combine. Christin is passionate about working with individuals who have high aspirations and expectations of what they can achieve.

Christin believes that the level of care and attention provided at the professional level should be no different than that of the community. She is so excited to put the same vigor and attention towards her patients here in Evansville. 

Christin loves working with athletes of all ages with a soft spot for runners, singers/dancers, and pickleball players. She, herself, is highly active and will do anything to be outside. Christin and her husband, Gabe, are active in their church, big sports fans, and love cooking together.

She is so excited to work for a company of such high integrity and founded on the belief that there is a better way to support our community with their health care.
