Today we’d like to introduce you to Cody and Katelynn McGrath. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Cody and Katelynn met in San Marcos, TX, where they received their Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees from Texas State University. From the time they both graduated from physical therapy school, they had big dreams on their minds.
They both knew that they wanted to one day start their own practice, but they also knew that they needed some mentorship and guidance early on in their careers. After learning from some great mentors and learning valuable lessons on what they wanted their clinic to look like and, even more importantly, what they did not want the clinic to be, they decided in early 2023 that it was time to move back to their favorite town in Texas to settle their roots.
Cody grew up in Georgetown, and it did not take Katelynn long after they had lived there for a while to realize that Georgetown was the place to open up shop. They love the Georgetown community and have really enjoyed becoming a part of it. One of their main goals is to build a practice where they focus on truly listening to their patients, understanding their goals, and coming up with a game plan for them to learn how to optimize their movement, get out of pain, and be proactive with injury prevention so that they can build resilience and perform at their highest level.
The McGraths feel extremely blessed to have wonderful family and friend support. They would not have had the opportunity to open Uplifted Movement & Performance Therapy without continued love, support, and guidance.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We feel we have been very blessed along our journey so far, and in the grand scheme of things, we feel things have gone pretty smoothly in our first year of business. We thank God and the support of our families for that.
I am sure every small business owner who is just starting out feels that opening a business is challenging. There is so much to learn when you become a business owner, especially if you do not have a business background.
So, while, at times, it has been challenging, learning these new skills has been fun, and we are trying to embrace the challenge of both running a successful business and giving the highest level of physical therapy care possible.
We’ve been impressed with Uplifted Movement & Performance Therapy, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Uplifted is a performance based physical therapy clinic, which means we specialize in getting down to the root cause of why you are in pain and work to build things from the ground up to ensure that you are moving well, building resilience, and performing better than you ever thought possible.
Our Doctors of Physical Therapy are experts in orthopedic manual physical therapy, biomechanics, running and sport-specific PT, and pelvic health/women’s health PT. We are proud to be members of the Georgetown, TX, community and strive to bring the best physical therapy experience possible to Georgetown.
When not in the clinic, we love getting out and helping in the community whenever possible. We also have an up and coming running club, Run Uplifted, who’s goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for anybody in the Georgetown area who wants to get out and run some miles! We believe that giving the most value to each and every person we encounter is what people deserve!
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
As a husband and wife team, we both want to thank our better halves. Without our amazing bond, Uplifted would have never gotten off the ground. We would also like to thank both our parents. They have shown us so much love and support through both their faith and physical support every step of the way. We would also like to thank our dear friends Rees and Brittany Crosby.
Brittany beautifully showed us the importance of living life on purpose and without her influence, Uplifted would not be what it is today. Lastly, we would like to thank our lord Jesus Christ, He has given us the opportunity to open this business and without him nothing is possible.
