Meet Dr. Kristin Boylan

Dr. Kristin Boylan is the Clinic Director at Florida Physio and a physical therapist who believes physical therapy should help people get back to the things that matter most to them.

An athlete her entire life, Kristin grew up playing a variety of sports before competing in volleyball and basketball at Cornell College, where she was an All-Conference athlete in both. Her experience as an athlete shaped the way she views movement, injury, and rehabilitation—and gave her an appreciation for what it means to want to get back to doing what you love.

Kristin earned her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Kinesiology and Psychology from Cornell College before earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from St. Ambrose University in 2012. She began her career in outpatient orthopedics outside of Chicago before relocating to Florida in 2016, where she has continued to work with a wide range of orthopedic and sports medicine patients.

Kristin enjoys working with everyone from competitive athletes to parents and grandparents who simply want to keep up with their kids or grandkids. Her clinical interests include general orthopedics and sports medicine, with a whole-body approach to understanding how someone moves and what may be keeping them from doing what they love.

She joined Florida Physio because she wanted to work alongside like-minded physical therapists who challenge each other, push their patients, and believe in helping people become the best versions of themselves.

At the center of Kristin’s approach is the belief that the patient is the expert on their own body and their own goals. Her role is to combine her clinical knowledge and experience with the patient’s understanding of their body to create a plan that is individualized to them—not simply their diagnosis. Education is a key part of that process. Kristin takes the time to help patients understand what is happening in their body, why they may be experiencing pain or limitations, and what they can do to manage it. Her goal is not only to help people feel better, but to give them the knowledge, confidence, and tools to take ownership of their health and continue managing their bodies long after they leave the clinic.

Outside of the clinic, Kristin enjoys spending time with her husband, Chris, their twin daughters, Brynnleigh and Gracyn, and their Goldendoodle, Kinnick. She loves trying new local restaurants, spending time with family and friends, and, thanks to two little princesses, making frequent trips to Disney.
