What to expect on the blog

Empowering Women Through Movement, Knowledge, and Care

Hi, I’m Dr. Carolyn Baek, PT, CLT, a physical therapist and certified lymphedema therapist based in Westchester, NY. After over a decade working in hospital systems, I started this practice and blog with a simple goal: help women feel strong, informed, and in control of their health.

This space is dedicated to all the stages and seasons of women’s wellness, from breast cancer recovery to management of chronic illnesses, prevention to performance. Here, you’ll find evidence-based insights, approachable education, and real-world strategies that you can use today.
