Kirstin J. Weible, PT, ScD — 16 years of clinical practice, a doctorate in rehabilitation science, and University of Arizona DPT faculty. Available for plaintiff and defense engagements nationwide.

I am a licensed physical therapist with a Doctor of Science degree in rehabilitation sciences and 16 years of clinical experience spanning outpatient orthopedics, acute care, and musculoskeletal specialty practice. My clinical background is grounded in differential diagnosis, evidence-based intervention, and defensible documentation — the same competencies that underpin effective expert testimony.
Since 2024, I have served as an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the University of Arizona, where I teach clinical reasoning, musculoskeletal examination, and CAPTE-aligned curriculum design. This academic role keeps me current with evolving practice standards and the professional expectations against which clinician conduct is measured.
I work with plaintiff and defense counsel on cases where the standard of care for physical therapy is at issue. My opinions are grounded in published evidence, applicable guidelines, and professional norms — not advocacy.
Evaluation, treatment, and documentation practices against applicable professional standards and published guidelines.
Causation analysis, functional limitations, and assessment of PT treatment reasonableness and necessity following injury.
Review of physical therapy care for work-related injuries; treatment duration, appropriateness, and outcome expectations.
Evaluation of clinical documentation against payer rules, regulatory requirements, and professional standards.
Functional capacity analysis and independent evaluation of PT-related disability claims and reported limitations.
Breach of duty analysis, harm causation, and opinion on departure from accepted PT standards of practice.
I am happy to conduct an initial record review at no charge to assess whether the facts support expert involvement — a no-risk starting point for evaluating case merit before committing resources.
