Kimberly Parkan - Adjunct Faculty

Liberal Arts Faculty

Kimberly is an inquisitive and driven Physical Therapist in the outpatient orthopedic setting with an emphasis on manual therapy treatment. She is a Physical Therapist and an adjunct professor for LCAD, teaching Scientific Anatomy. She has always been fascinated by the human body and all of its unique, dynamic intricacies, and she finds great pleasure in guiding patients and friends to restore function and decrease their limitations while increasing their body awareness and overall health. She has worked in the outpatient orthopedic setting since her graduation, and throughout these 17 years, she has continued to deepen her knowledge base through continuing education. She is a Fellow of Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute, where she completed a 40-week fellowship in 2015 which deepened her knowledge in the principles, strategies, and techniques that improve human movement, limit pain, and improve daily function. She has also completed a series of Functional Soft Tissue Transformation courses to strengthen her manual therapy skills and knowledge of the human body. With this background, she has found highly effective tools to decrease soft tissue dysfunctions and provide faster, longer-lasting results for patients. Kim holds a Masters and Doctorate in physical therapy from the University of the Pacific. She loves swimming, paddle boarding, all things water, and her kids and family.
