Dr. Norah Whitten, PT Verified listing

Dr. Norah is not only a physical therapist, but also an athlete, coach and mom. Norah grew up a competitive athlete, specifically as a high level gymnast and diver. After sports Norah knew she needed a way to fulfill her competitive outlet and found CrossFit while in PT school. From day one she was hooked. Since starting CrossFit she has developed a passion for functional movement & strength training. This not only influenced her personal life, but her professional role as a movement specialist as well. Norah utilizes the movement patterns and philosophies of functional fitness to get her patients the outcomes they deserve and help them become stronger than they ever thought possible.

Dr. Norah attended the University of Illinois for her undergraduate work and Duke University for her Doctor of Physical Therapy. Since graduating from school Norah has specialized in working with an active population. She specifically got interested in treating the pelvic floor after noticing a gap in care for active pregnant & postpartum women. She is passionate about dispelling myths such as “pregnant women shouldn’t lift weights” & “exercising with a prolapse will make it worse” She’s successfully helped clients do both those things and return to workouts and activities they never thought possible!

When not at work or working out herself, you can usually find Norah still wearing athleisure (i.e. comfy leggings with an oversized T-shirt) with her hair in a side braid and spending quality time with her husband, Ben, and kids, Lucas and Maddie.
