Brette Rothschild

Brette Rothschild is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with more than 25 years of experience and the creator of Knit for Life. An avid knitter herself, she brings together her clinical knowledge and love of making to help knitters, crocheters, and other crafters find greater comfort in the activities they love.

Brette understands how easy it is to become absorbed in a project and lose track of time. Through Knit for Life, she shares practical ways to notice what your body needs, adjust your setup, vary your projects, and make movement part of your crafting routine. Her approach begins with awareness and encourages small, realistic changes that fit everyday life.

Her teaching centers on three connected ideas: Move Well, Knit Well, and Live Well. Through workshops, YouTube videos, and the Knit for Life app, she helps makers explore comfortable positioning, thoughtful pacing, and strength and mobility habits that support their time with yarn.

For Brette, knitting is a way to slow down, create, and connect. Knit for Life grew from that personal passion and her desire to help one maker at a time continue doing what brings them joy.
