Libby Trausch Physical Therapy & Coaching
Stronger Feet. Better Balance. More Confident Movement. 
 
I help people improve foot + ankle strength, symmetry, and walking mechanics so knees, hips, and back stop compensating. Virtual coaching available worldwide. (PT services in Iowa only.)

 

​​

What we’ll do together 
​

In a discovery call, we’ll:

  • Clarify what you’re noticing (pain, stiffness, imbalance, fear on stairs)

  • Identify the biggest “bang for buck” place to start

  • Decide if you’re a fit for coaching or (if you’re in Iowa) physical therapy care

Who this is for: 

Motivated, Active People

  • Achilles pain/tightness, foot pain, toe issues

  • Knee pain (stairs a problem anyone?)

  • Balance that’s “starting to feel like a problem”

  • A recent injury or arthritis and you want smarter movement

  • A sense that one side is doing more work than the other

  • Dealing with stubborn back ache or sciatica, headaches, jaw problems, pelvic tension, foot/ankle pain or persistent joint issues.  

  • Managing overlapping symptoms (gut, low energy, anxiety, overwhelm)

  • High-capacity on the outside, frustrated on the inside—and ready to feel capable and productive

  • Ready to do what it takes to feel better: body & mind

 

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

 

What makes this different

Root-cause, mind-body fitness + physical therapy + coaching

  • Whole-person assessment: symptoms, stress load, sleep, beliefs, and patterns

  • Nervous-system first: gentle retraining to reduce threat and reactivity

  • Integrative tools: fitness, PT, yoga therapy, breath, graded activity, and practical behavior skills

  • Your-life fit: tiny, doable steps that respect work, kids, and real constraints

FAQ 

Do you work with people outside Iowa?
Yes—worldwide for fitness, exercise refinement, and symmetry coaching. Physical therapy services are available in Iowa only.

 

Is this for severe pain or major balance issues?
If you're in Iowa, YES.  If you're outside of Iowa, you'll likely want to work with a medical professional licensed in your own region.  I'm looking at getting licensed outside of Iowa, so send me a message if this is interesting so I know where the demand is!

 

What do I need for a discovery call?
Nothing fancy—just a quick description of what you’re noticing. If you want, you can also share a short walking clip later.

"I have a lot of family time coming up and I can feel my symptoms flaring. The awareness of this is calming me. I know what it is. I can work through it and not have anxiety about a million things "it could be."

Sarah

"My husband really appreciated your questions and the way you approached his assessment. He's rare with any kind of compliment, so I wanted you to know. ”
