Patient Success Story: From Pain and Fear to Strength and Confidence
When Kaitlyn came to us, she was dealing with ongoing knee and lower back pain and the fear that comes with it.
Working with Lauren, she discovered the real cause: anterior pelvic tilt and improper movement patterns. Through proper form, core strengthening, and progressive training, she rebuilt not just her strength but her confidence.
Today, Kaitlyn is back to her pre-injury activity level, moving without fear and building on a strong foundation for the future. Way to go Kaitlyn! Your Active Life Family is so proud of you!

✨ Student Spotlight! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Sydney Brown PT student to her clinical rotation at Active Life Physical Therapy! She will be with PT John Nietubicz at our Lutherville location. Sydney is in her last year of PT school

Her passion for physical therapy started early. Growing up with a father who is a pediatric oncologist, she witnessed firsthand the powerful impact compassionate, patient-centered care can have. As a three-sport athlete, she spent countless hours in the training room with athletic trainers and physical therapists, which sparked her love for movement, injury recovery, and understanding the human body. Once she took anatomy her senior year, everything clicked — and she’s never looked back 💙

Outside of the clinic, she truly lives an . She loves spending time with family and friends, trying new restaurants, hiking, playing pickleball, strength training, Pilates, and yoga sculpt — plus staying creative through painting, crafting, and drawing 🎨

✨ Fun fact: She was on a jump rope team for many years, performing routines at schools and later serving as a jump rope camp counselor for 8 years! She still jump ropes whenever she can — proof that fitness can (and should) be fun 😄

Welcome to Active Life Sydney! 💪

At 87 years old, an avid gardener’s world was turned upside down after a fall in the yard led to a fractured hip and major surgery. Following a long hospital and rehab stay, she turned to Christina and the team at Active Life for help rebuilding her strength.
Over the months of physical therapy, Christina provided constant encouragement, motivation, and hands-on care from exercises to strengthen weakened muscles to techniques that eased pain. With dedication and hard work, she has regained her independence, returned to gardening, and no longer needs a cane to get around.
She proudly says she feels “almost back to new” and plans to continue Christina’s program at her local gym to stay active!
