Kate’s Approach: Curiosity, Collaboration, and Getting to the Root Cause
What sets Kate apart is her genuine curiosity about the human body. In almost three decades of clinical practice, she has developed a sophisticated ability to look at how the whole person moves — not just the painful part — and to ask the right questions that unlock why an injury has happened.
She is particularly drawn to the challenge of patients who have been suffering for a long time. Whether that’s a runner who has tried everything, a patient managing the daily complexity of EDS, or someone whose injury keeps returning despite previous treatment, Kate’s breadth of clinical experience and advanced training means she brings a fresh perspective and a genuine determination to help.
Kate’s patients consistently describe feeling heard. She believes that understanding a patient’s life — what they love to do, what their injury has taken from them, and what matters most to them — is just as important as the clinical assessment. That understanding shapes everything about the treatment plan she builds with them.
