Dr. Renae DiBartolomeo
Orthopedic and sports rehab, plus the two things most clinics send you elsewhere for: concussion and dizziness.
Who Renae helps
Most people come to Renae with one of these.

About Renae
Renae competed in swimming, artistic swimming and water polo, and has been through injury and rehab herself — from the athlete’s side of it.
She worked as a student athletic trainer with Division I athletes at USC before her doctorate, and has since trained specifically in concussion management and vestibular disorders — the dizziness, balance and head-injury cases most orthopedic clinics refer out. She still trains and competes with U.S. Masters Swimming, and does pottery on the side.
Every visit at Kauno is one-on-one with your therapist. No aides, no doubling up, no being handed a sheet of exercises and left in a corner.
What a first visit looks like
- 01One-on-one from the start, beginning with what you’re trying to get back to.
- 02A movement assessment — we find what actually reproduces the symptom.
- 03Hands-on treatment plus your first loading work, done the same visit.
- 04You leave with a plan, an honest timeline, and two or three things to do.
What she offers

I had major back surgery and needed to start PT. Renae has been great — I'm confident I will reach the return-to-work date we're working toward.
“I came in with nerve pain in my hand and arm, and Renae has helped tremendously in relieving pain and re-building strength.”
“This is the first time PT feels like a workout, and I can already feel the improvement.”
Trained where the injuries happen.
