Welcome to The Next Step Physical Therapy!

We are Seattle’s premier Physical Therapy clinic working with patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our owner and sole practitioner is Karen Calara who has over 27 years of experience in the Seattle area. Combining specialties in sports biomechanics, manual therapy, functional exercise, and strength training and conditioning, Karen creates comprehensive programs tailored to the individual.

What makes The Next Step PT Different from other clinics?

My holistic approach makes the most impact by treating patients one on one, with hour long appointments. Our patients receive custom solutions that best fit their goals, needs and lifestyle. They love the fact I use an integrated approach and feel the changes are more lasting.

“Karen is a fabulous physical therapist. She listens to your concerns and needs, and develops a treatment plan that’s specific to you and works. For months I had lower back pain, and now it’s gone. When it does come back, a few simple exercises at home and it disappears quickly. If I have a question between sessions, for example about how to do an exercise, I can email her and hear back very quickly.”
