pist licensed to practice in Oklahoma. I spent 9 years
in outpatient orthopedics but recently transitioned
to home health care. I’m responsible for evaluating
impairments and functional deficits in each patient
and devising a plan of care specific to each patient;
coordinating care with my assistants to optimize pa-
tient outcomes and success. I assist with education
on medications, fall prevention strategies, manual
therapy techniques and the use of various modali-
ties like kinesiotaping and dry needling to modulate
chronic pain.

cellence and confidence in your career and what did
you do to push that boundaries

means going the extra mile to ensure each patient
understands their bodies and what to expect from a
rehab process. Making sure they have confidence in
my skills, abilities, and plan set in place for them.
Making sure my knowledge is current by researching
and keeping up to date on all my continuing educa-
tion courses.

all equals in His eye.
CSM: Describe the true nature of being sexy and an
eye-catching individual.
KACY: This is highly variable based on the individ-
ual judging. An attractive exterior often showcases a
heart full of self love and care
CSM: The industry you are in right now is very fast-
paced, full of competition and full of talent and un-
avoidable politics at times. What makes you stand
out and how do you keep up with talented people
around you?
KACY: I’ve been in and out of the bodybuilding
scene. It is highly competitive for those who seek it
as a career. For myself, I have a very gratifying and
successful career outside of fitness so I don’t strive to
compete with top level fitness athletes. Rather, I look
to them for inspiration and motivation to keep myself
going and accountable.
CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your magic wand,
where do you see yourself ten years from now?
KACY: Hopefully, maintaining my best physique,
as long as I can. Happily married, successful in my
career as a physical therapist, and living a Christ-
centered life.
