When I’m not playing at work, my creativity flows into dance and cooking, which usually overlap. I’m inspired by creation through hiking and global exploration, and grounded by my faith and family.

Cathy Headshot

Cathy

Cathy is happy to have joined the staff at PT in Motion Inc. as a Registered Physical Therapist. Her professional career spans over several decades as a Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer, Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Coach, Personal Trainer, and competitive athlete.

More about Cathy

She is distinguished by her expertise and experience in Applied Functional Science which combines manual therapy and the combination of the physical, biological, and behavioral sciences for functional assessment and treatment. She treats everyone as an individual. Using scientific principles allow her to treat the biomechanical compensations to produce personalized techniques and/or exercises that a patient can then utilize to achieve their personal goals.

It’s not just about treating a medical condition. It’s about restoring an individual’s quality of life. When people come to see her, they want more out of life. Yet due to their current situation, they might be held back by pain, guilt or because they are afraid to take the first step. She strives to transform pain into comfort, guilt into compassion and fear into confidence. As an Applied Functional Specialist this is where she focuses her efforts.

She is looking forward to your referrals and treating your patients as a team member of PT in Motion Inc.
