Philosophy:
To offer greater patient care and quality by coupling Manual Physical Therapy techniques with one on one care that treats the whole body. Kate is not constrained by inadequate time slots or multiple providers. Exclusively treating her patients empowers her to attain better results in less visits and allows for her to practice using evidence based medicine. Patients are able to get back to an active, pain free lifestyle sooner and often at a lower out of pocket cost. Removing insurance obstacles allows Kate to focus on the whole patient's overall health.
