Soon after entering the clinical world, Rhett became disappointed with his profession. Rather than reaching for greatness and pushing the envelope, physical therapy had become stagnant and complacent. This brought him to a crossroads that eventually lead to the patented One80 System®.

After several years of experimentation, further education, and applying science in the clinic Dr. Polka created a system that was designed to get results because it was the opposite of conventional medical model. This evolution in practice is what allowed him to open One80 Physical Therapy®. Since 2005, One80 PT has grown into a multiple clinic model. Now, The One80 System is being taught to licensed medical professionals across the country… and world.

Passionate, skilled, and driven by a desire to see real results in her patients, Kaitlyn is an integral part of the One80 Physical Therapy team. With a background in conventional physical therapy, Kaitlyn’s journey to One80 was fueled by her determination to transcend traditional treatment limitations.

Kaitlyn’s career began in a conventional PT clinic. Despite her best efforts, the lack of immediate results and lasting functional gains left her seeking a more effective approach. A search for a better way led Kaitlyn to the One80 System. Impressed by its innovative approach and significant patient outcomes, she knew she had found her calling.

Today, Kaitlyn combines her extensive knowledge and experience with the patented techniques of the One80 System to empowering her patients with long-term solutions. Her passion has allowed her to become a leader in the field of orthopedic rehab.
