Karine Gulyamova, MSPT, CAPP-OB, CAPP-OB, PCES

Karine is a citizen of the world. She was born and raised in Tajikistan, a breathtakingly beautiful mountainous country in Central Asia. In 1995, following the collapse of the USSR, her family was forced to leave their homeland. She spent several years as a refugee in Sochi, Russia, before beginning a new chapter in Helsinki, Finland in 2000, guided by hope, resilience, and a desire for new opportunities.

Karine began her physiotherapy career in 2005 after graduating in Finland with a degree in Physiotherapy and completing clinical training at teaching university hospitals in both Finland and England. Following graduation, she worked as a physiotherapist in a variety of settings at the National University Hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland.

In the United States, she worked in skilled rehabilitation facilities in Boston, MA, as well as hospitals in Longmont and Boulder, CO.

In 2016, a course in Pelvic Health inspired Karine to specialize in this field. Since then, she has completed numerous advanced courses in Pelvic Health and Postural Restoration (PRI).

In 2019, with the support of her colleagues, Karine spearheaded a Pelvic Health program for early postpartum moms at Boulder Community Health, helping over 600 women each year with early postpartum recovery with focus on Pelvic Health. She and her colleagues also created a monthly workshop, Pregnancy Fitness Essentials and Pelvic Floor Health, tailored to pregnant women.

Karine volunteers as a CAPP-OB and CAPP-Pelvic case study reviewer and serves as a CAPP Content Peer Reviewer (Female Pelvic Health) on the CAPP Editorial Panel of the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy.

She remains deeply committed to continuing to advance her skills in order to provide the highest quality care to her patients.

Reflecting on her life experiences, Karine shares that “being a refugee has given me profound and unique life lessons. Through travel and the process of learning and adapting to new cultures and countries, I gained a deep appreciation for the small things, along with humility and patience. Most importantly, I learned that all humans strive to be happy, heard, and validated. Everyone has a story to share. We all need to practice kindness as our ‘religion’ and be present with one another without judgment. I do my best to incorporate these principles into my work with patients every day.”

Outside of the clinic, Karine enjoys the simple pleasures of life: knitting, reading, learning, camping, and spending quality time with her two teenage daughters, her husband, and a vibrant circle of friends who make up her beloved community.
