Karl Burris is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, and a lifelong Santee native who believes that getting older and getting stronger aren’t mutually exclusive.
After years in clinical practice, Karl saw a gap that frustrated him: adults over 55 were being treated like patients when they should be trained like athletes. That conviction became the foundation of Wise Owl Fit — a group fitness facility built specifically for adults 55 and older, where every member is treated as an athlete in training.
Karl brings deep knowledge of how the body ages and what it takes to keep it strong, mobile, and resilient. Just across the hall, he also operates Live Life Physiotherapy, an outpatient physical therapy practice serving the Santee community, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Santee Chamber of Commerce.
Bio coming soon — we look forward to introducing you to Danielle when you come in for your first session!
