I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Katye Tuyo, PT, DPT, an orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist. In this episode we learn that everyone—regardless of gender—has a pelvic floor and its health plays a vital role in our overall health and wellbeing. I learned this firsthand as a patient, which is why I've asked Katye to share her expertise. This episode is not just for new parents. Katye talks about pelvic floor health, how to recognize when therapy might be needed, and how even seemingly unrelated physical issues can signal the need for help. Everything from hip pain, back pain, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, leg pain, and many other problems can be improved by pelvic floor strength and stabilization therapy.
- We don't have to "just live with" physical pain and dysfunction
- Many symptoms are common but not normal, and can be fixed
- Our emotional and physical systems are profoundly interconnected
- Deep breaths don't cost a thing

Ways to connect with Katye and the Vitalize Physical Therapy Team:
Dr. Katye Tuyo is happy to be a part of the Vitalize Physical Therapy family, with a passion for getting to the root cause for true healing to happen. Born into a family that bleeds Black and Gold, she attended Purdue University where she graduated with a degree in Athletic Training. It was there she discovered a natural ability to feel what is happening below the skin and a love for manual therapy was born. She continued on to the University of Indianapolis where she achieved her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. Upon graduation from UIndy, Katye remained in the Indianapolis area treating patients with orthopedic and pelvic health conditions, continuing to grow her holistic approach to help patients heal.
Her patients say she is a good listener and uses a personalized hands-on method. She focuses on creating an optimal environment to enable the body's innate healing process. She takes a "zoomed-out" approach in order to determine contributing factors, while simultaneously focusing on the root cause of symptoms. Katye is a lifelong learner, stays up to date on current research, and loves continuing education to learn new techniques and perfect her skills.
When not at the clinic, you can find Katye spending time with her dog Harvey. She enjoys traveling, going on family trips, rollerblading with her pup, advocating and educating on non-toxic personal products, and growing her own fresh veggies in the garden. On Saturday mornings you will likely find her at one of her favorite places, the farmer's market, where she enjoys trying new foods and supporting the local community.
