About Kim Crosby
Meet Kim
Doctor of Physical Therapy
University of the Pacific, Stockton, CA
From nursing injured animals as a child to becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Kim's healing journey has been guided by compassion and curiosity.
With a biology degree from UC Davis and experience as a licensed veterinary technician, Kim's foundation in medicine is both broad and deep.
A pivotal moment during an orthopedic surgery—when a surgeon suggested she pursue physical therapy—changed her career trajectory.
After 15 years in home health care, Kim now offers concierge physical therapy, liberating her patients from insurance constraints and allowing personalized care on their terms.
Kim specializes in vestibular and balance therapy, fall prevention, and helping seniors thrive independently. As one 99-year-old patient wisely told her, "Honey, if I'm gonna be this old, I want to feel good"—words that perfectly capture Kim's mission.
Her unique approach combines physical therapy expertise with nutritional knowledge gained from overcoming her own food sensitivities. Whether you're recovering from surgery, seeking to improve mobility, or wanting to safely return to activities you love, Kim creates individualized plans that respect your goals and timeline.
When not helping clients, Kim explores the outdoors with her husband and two children in Lake of the Pines, enjoys snowboarding, hiking, and recently completed a four-day trek to Machu Picchu.
Her passion for problem-solving extends beyond therapy into cooking, sports training, and adventure.
Dream big—Kim will help make those dreams your reality.
