Paulina is a co-owner of The PATH Rehab & Performance, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer, USA Weightlifting Coach, dancer and aerial artist. After receiving her doctoral degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 2019, she moved out to the wonderful state of Washington with her husband and Co-Founder Dr. Brooks Kenderdine. Together they quickly became enamored by the beauty, nature, adventure and lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest. Now settled in the Tacoma area, Paulina hopes to serve the community and its highly motivated individuals on their path to personal excellence.
Paulina was driven to create The PATH Rehab & Performance to provide a resource for the performing arts and dance communities in which artists feel confident that they are receiving the top quality care that they deserve. She has had experience in working with dancers and performing artists from adolescent to professional levels from various companies, including Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Pointe Park University, and Broadway.
Her own path has consisted of a background in dance, aerial arts, competitive swimming, barbell training (powerlifting and weightlifting), snowboarding, hiking, and backpacking. Through her athletic training career she has gained experience in treating a variety of athletes from youth to professional levels. Her passion is serving the performing arts and dance communities by providing education, excellent care, and advocating for the health and wellness of artists. Outside of physical therapy, you will find Paulina exploring the outdoors with Brooks and their dog Jax, reading, dancing at a studio, and almost always with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Paulina is fully equipped to serve you and get you back to your high-level athletic goals. Her treatment is evidence-based and focused on increasing physical resilience so that clients will not only meet their goals, but surpass them.
