Let's get started

Kathrina Steiger, PT, DPT, CLT | Owner

Hi, I’m Kat — a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Lymphedema Therapist dedicated to helping individuals manage, reduce, and better understand their swelling so they can move and live more comfortably. I founded this practice with one goal in mind: to provide truly personalized, hands-on care in an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered.

With ten years of experience across a variety of clinical settings—including short- and long-term rehab, outpatient care, home health, and oncology—I’ve seen firsthand how profoundly lymphatic conditions can affect a person’s comfort, mobility, and confidence. That insight led me to specialize in lymphedema and lymphatic management, where I focus on providing gentle, effective, evidence-based care that supports the body’s natural healing systems.

At the same time, I remain deeply connected to the full spectrum of traditional physical therapy. I genuinely love helping people improve their strength, mobility, and function—whether they’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic condition, or working toward everyday movement goals. My approach blends my lymphatic expertise with a strong foundation in orthopedic and functional rehabilitation, allowing me to treat the whole person, not just their swelling.

In addition to running my private practice, I serve full-time at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, working with patients recovering from cancer treatment, surgery, and radiation. These experiences continue to deepen my commitment to bringing high-quality physical therapy and lymphatic care into the community—meeting patients where they are, both physically and emotionally.

Through Kathrina Steiger Physical Therapy, PLLC, I provide mobile physical therapy and lymphatic management throughout the Southtowns of Buffalo. My mission is to make both traditional and specialized care more accessible, personal, and empowering by supporting long-term management, education, and confidence every step of the way.

I look forward to helping you move and live better. Book your appointment now!
