Dr Karissa Deptula

Karissa has a passion for helping athletes and active individuals recover from injury, optimize performance, and prevent future setbacks. Combining her background as a Physical Therapist Assistant with a fitness-forward mindset, she delivers a personalized, movement-driven approach to care.

After earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Hanover College and her Bachelor’s degree from Miami University, Karissa pursued advanced training in sports rehabilitation, manual therapy, dry needling, and movement analysis. She has extensive experience helping active people of all levels return to what they love—stronger, more resilient, and ready to perform at their best.

A Dayton, Ohio native, Karissa enjoys spending her free time outdoors and in the kitchen. She stays active through CrossFit and weightlifting, which give her firsthand insight into the demands of athletic performance. On weekends, she can often be found hiking with her Keeshond, Ruby, or experimenting with new recipes. Of the many national parks she’s explored, the Grand Tetons remain her favorite.
