Dear Dr. _________,

I am writing to thank you kindly for the subject referral. Under Kate’s therapy & guidance, I am elated to report that I have made the greatest progress in treating my chronic back problems since they started over 25 years ago!  I am even playing tennis, working out, & riding my bike again on a regular basis. Prior to my working with Kate I did not think this was possible. I have worked with countless physical therapists over this time frame & also tried everything from spinal decompression; chiropractors & to injections & various medications.  I’ve had superior results with my physical therapy with Kate compared with all my prior treatments combined. Kate does a great job in thoroughly evaluating existing problems & explaining the various exercises to address them.  It is obvious that her goal is to get to the root of the problems & expedite the therapy needed to address them without stringing out the number of sessions required, unlike many physical therapists I have worked with previously. In the past, I have been overwhelmed by the number of exercises assigned to deal with my back problems. Kate has put me on a program that is simple, manageable & can be incorporated into my regular workout regimen. I highly recommend Kate to my family, friends & wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you referring me to her. Thanks again.

  • Life changing!  I've seen other PT's, but Kate's diagnosis really hit the nail on the head.  Exercises were simple and very effective.  I had improvement in 2 days!  I have my life back!

  • Finally some relief from a post-concussion headache!  Exercises made a huge difference and Kate's teaching of how my body was or wasn't working helped me to understand the progression of recovering.

  • I suffered from heel pain for months and had numerous injections.  Kate treated my back and gave me some hip exercises that took my heel pain completely away!

  • My jaw has not locked since your treatment and my home exercise program.

  • Kate is a lifesaver!  I was barely able to walk, and she diagnosed my pelvic injury within minutes, so I could walk out with reduced pain.  The exercises were spot on to help me heal and minimal.

  • I've been to over 15 physical therapists in my life and Kate is the only provider that has been able to help my sciatica and scoliosis pain. I can't imagine how I would feel if I had not connected with her.  Her exercise recommendations are excellent and she listens to feedback.  I highly recommend her.

  • I could only walk a short distance before seeing Kate.  In 4 visits I am so much improved and very pleased.

  • Kate's knowledge and expertise is very impressive and helps me to be pain free.  She was spot on.
