Rythm Pelvic Health is a small, specialty practice where I provide one-on-one care for pelvic pain, bladder & bowel issues, sexual dysfunction, & pregnancy-related conditions, including postpartum care.
Meet Kat, Founder & Physical Therapist
Kathryn T. Newton, PT, DPT
Hi everyone, I’m Kat — I’m truly so glad you’re here.
I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic and obstetric health, & my passion is helping people overcome pelvic floor dysfunction so they can feel strong, confident, & connected to their bodies again.
A little more about me:
I’m a Florida native who somehow survived several years living (and freezing!) in Chicago, where I had the privilege of working at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the #1 rehabilitation hospital in the country. It was there that I truly fell in love with treating complex pelvic health conditions- including chronic pelvic pain, constipation, urinary leakage, painful sex, pregnancy-related changes, postpartum recovery, and more.
In 2020, after moving back to Florida, I opened Rythm Pelvic Health with the hope of bringing high-quality, deeply personalized pelvic rehab to Brevard. After years of working within traditional models, I felt called to create a practice that allowed for more time, deeper care, & a true focus on root causes- care that doesn’t rush visits or stop solely at symptom resolution, but leaves space for true healing. The years that followed in the clinic in Melbourne Beach were incredibly meaningful, allowing me to care for patients one-on-one, build lasting relationships, and grow deeply within our local community.
In 2023, I stepped away from the clinic to take an extended maternity leave following the birth of my daughter, later welcoming my son in November 2024. During this time, I shifted from clinical care to educating & mentoring other pelvic health therapists- an experience that further deepened my clinical perspective and strengthened my appreciation for this work, as well as the complex physical and emotional journey surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
Now, with my family settling into a new rhythm, I’m reopening Rythm on a very limited and intentional basis. I’m incredibly excited to return to the clinical work I love while honoring this chapter of motherhood with young littles.
My treatment philosophy is simple: whole-body, hands-on, evidence-based, and genuinely you-centered. I’m committed to identifying the root cause of your symptoms so you can experience long-term, meaningful relief-not just quick fixes.
Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find me paddle boarding, attempting to surf, practicing yoga, or taking beach walks with my family. We absolutely love living here on the Space Coast, and it’s important to me to serve the community we adore & call home.
I’ve helped hundreds of individuals heal their pelvic symptoms and reclaim the life they want to live. Relief is possible for you, too — and I’d be honored to support you every step of the way.
Treatment Philosophy:
I believe that pelvic floor therapy should look deeper & treat the whole person-not only the pelvis. I follow the “why” behind your symptoms & use evidence-based, hands-on care to support the way you actually move & live every day.
As a manual-based pelvic health specialist, I blend hands-on treatments with exercises & movement that reflects your real life. I’m passionate about getting to the root-cause of your symptoms & helping the bigger picture come together in a way that feels clear, approachable, & empowering.
Above all, I want each session to feel warm, supportive, & encouraging- a space where you can show up exactly as you are & feel genuinely cared for: seen, heard, & guided from our first conversation. We’ll work together, we’ll problem-solve, & yes-when appropriate-we’ll probably laugh a little too.
All in all, my goal is to help you connect the dots, treat you as a whole human, & empower you to return to the parts of life you cherish most—without limitation.
The History of Rythm:
Rythm first opened its doors in 2020 in Melbourne Beach & quickly became such a meaningful part of my life & this amazing community. I spent those years caring for patients one-on-one, mentoring other pelvic therapists, & offering community education that I loved deeply.
After welcoming my daughter in 2023, I stepped away from clinical care & into the education & mentorship side of pelvic rehab, and also into full-time mom life. I closed the physical space, packed everything into storage, & allowed Rythm to rest there -waiting until the time was right to return.
I named my practice Rythm because of something in the rehabilitation world called the lumbopelvic rhythm — which is the natural, interconnected way the lumbar spine and pelvis move together during everyday activities, and a reminder that nothing in the body works in isolation. It reflects my passion for looking beyond the pelvis & finding root causes since so many pelvic health concerns originate outside the pelvis.
I also chose the name Rythm because my goal is to help people find their rhythm again- to feel in sync with their bodies & return to a rhythm that truly feels like their own. And yes, I intentionally misspelled it… a small nod to the fact that every body is different & requires care tailored to each of our unique needs, and that individualized treatment is at the heart of what I do.
As I step into this next chapter, I’m so grateful for where Rythm began & for the chance to bring it back with fresh purpose and intention, while honoring this chapter of motherhood to my two littles.
