What have you missed out on this year alone because you weren’t sure your body could do it? A road trip? Golf trip? Getting a dog that needs exercises? Finishing house projects? Playing with your kids? It’s time to stop missing out on experiences and start living the life you can.

About
Hi, I’m Dr. Carla Colella, a physical therapist, and owner of Oconomowoc Physical Therapy. I opened OPT in 2017 to make a difference in physical therapy. I want you to feel comfortable, heard, understood, not rushed, and that you are in the hands of a very capable clinician.
I earned my doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., held a board certification as an orthopedic specialist (OCS) for 10 years, and am an adjunct educator in a local physical therapy program. My clinical experience of 17 years and over 600 hours of post-doctoral education, is melded with my empathy and compassion to give you a unique experience.
OPT was in-part, a creation of how I wanted to be treated as a patient. I didn’t want to go to a provider who was practicing like they were just a cog in a wheel of some large entity just giving the most basic and often times wrong analysis in a unfriendly maze of a building complex with an ever-growing AI/bot presence. I like a boutique-style office where I’m allowed to give open answers instead of checking boxes and my issue is given the thoughtful consideration I think it deserves. If you love chain restaurants and have total confidence in your current care team, then OPT may not be for you, and that’s okay too.
Patients and clients mainly come from Oconomowoc, others from the Lake Country area (Nashotah, Hartland, Delafield, Merton, Sussex, Pewaukee, Waukesha, Wales, Ixonia, and Watertown), while others come from anywhere between Milwaukee, Madison, and Whitewater. Concierge/in-home care may be available for those in Oconomowoc.
As a resident of Oconomowoc for 13 years, I enjoy quality time with my husband, dog, and our two young kids. You’ve probably seen us playing at the parks, at all of our festivals, or paddling around on the water.
