In this episode of Action Ignited, we’re joined by Gabriella Kulikowski, a passionate and dynamic physical therapist at Ripple Physical Therapy, located within Core Collective in Brookline. Gabby shares her incredible journey from growing up just outside of Philly and playing D3 volleyball, to becoming a DPT and now treating a diverse population of athletes and active adults in the Boston area.

Gabby opens up about how she helps busy adults (especially women) stay strong, pain-free, and engaged in their movement practice. She also speaks on building an inclusive, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients, young female athletes, and underserved communities.
