Meet KRISTEN DOUHAN | PHYSICAL THERAPIST

We had the good fortune of connecting with KRISTEN DOUHAN and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi KRISTEN, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
STARTING MY OWN BUSINESS WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. BY HAVING MY OWN BUSINESS, I CAN ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF PROVIDING INDIVIDUALIZED, ONE ON ONE CARE, WHICH IS OFTEN NOT POSSIBLE IN LARGE, CORPORATE CLNICS.

What should our readers know about your business?
DOUHAN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE IS A SINGLE FEMALE OWNED BUSINESS. I GOT TO WHERE I AM TODAY THROUGH PERSEVERANCE AND A LITTLE BIT OF GRIT. I SAW WHAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTHCARE AND BUILT A FOUNDATION ON THAT. MY BRAND IS BUILD ON A FOUNDATION OF CARING FOR PEOPLE AND IMPROVING THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE WITH ATTENTION TO DETAIL. NO ONE IS A NUMBER OR A BOX TO CHECK, BUT AN INDIVIDUAL WITH GOALS, NEEDS AND A DESIRE TO GET BETTER AND ITS A PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF THE JOURNEY WITH THEM.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I LOVE DOWNTOWN LITTLETON. THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS, BARS AND SHOPS ARE WONDERFUL AND I ALWAYS ENJOY SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES NOW. THE MOUNTAINS IN COLORADO, OF COURSE, ARE SECOND TO NONE. I HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD FOR SPORTS MEDICINE WORK AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY COLORADO IS A TOP SPOT OF ALL THE PLACES I HAVE BEEN.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY FAMILY THAT SUPPORTED MY GOAL AND BELIEVED IN ME. THERE WERE A LOT OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD, TO SAY THE LEAST, AND THEY PROVIDED SUPPORT AND A LISTENING EAR. SHOUTOUT TO THE ROADBLOCKS, AS WELL, FOR MAKING ME STRONGER AND HELP ME REALLY KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT TO SEE THROUGH. I HAD SOME WONDERFUL PHYSICAL THERAPISTS AND PHYSICIANS AS WELL HAVE ENCOURAGED ME AND MENTORED ME ALONG THE WAY. FINALLY, BOOKS SUCH AS THE MENTOR LEADER AND GOOD TO GREAT WERE POWERFUL FOR HELPING GUIDE MY THOUGHTS.
