Natalie Steensma, PTA

Natalie Steensma is a Physical Therapist Assistant with 26 years of experience, including more than 20 years with SECO. She earned her Associate degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant from Herkimer Community College and practices at SECO’s Walton and Sidney locations.


Natalie especially enjoys working with the geriatric population. She strives to make therapy a positive and encouraging experience, first building trust with her patients and then challenging them to reach their goals. For Natalie, one of the most rewarding parts of being a PTA is seeing patients gain strength, confidence, and independence through therapy.


Before joining SECO, Natalie worked at A.O. Fox Hospital and O’Connor Hospital. She chose SECO because of the supportive and collaborative environment among its therapists and the willingness of her coworkers to help one another.


Outside of work, Natalie enjoys being outdoors, taking walks with her family and their dog, and spending time with the people she loves. She also works in real estate and helps run her family’s Airbnb.
