Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski, PT, DPT, CSCS, Cert. DN, BFR-C
Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski founded Symmetry Physical Therapy in 2014 with the fundamental belief that patients should be treated on an individual basis. Dr. Natalia believes patients should be given a diverse array of treatment modalities and techniques, along with progressive and varied exercises and manual intervention to ensure maximum recovery. This all-encompassing approach, along with Dr. Natalia’s strong background in strength and conditioning has led to Symmetry’s successful treatment programs for patients looking to get back into sport, recover from injury, or beat chronic pain.

Community Outreach Coordinator
Amy Stratt
As a former patient, my life was truly changed by Natalia. I might be biased but I am their biggest fan because I came in walking with a cane, previously a wheelchair, and in need of major physical therapy after a horrific accident a few years ago. Fast forward and I walked down the aisle at my wedding and never left the dance floor thanks to everything Natalia taught me. I've seen firsthand while being a patient how many lives have been changed by Symmetry. It was a no-brainer for me to join the team because I know what is possible with the right care.
Amy coordinates educational workshops integrating Team Symmetry into Miami gyms and health clubs. She plays a pivotal role in helping to expand local’s knowledge of movement, pain reduction, physical therapy interventions, and injury prevention.
