“I often refer to Kathy as my superhero. I have been seeing Kathy for several years after I had a back issue. She identified my issue and worked it out for me. Since then, I see her at least monthly for preventative maintenance to keep me healthy and manage any new issues that come along. Kathy is honest, kind, highly intelligent, and most of all she is passionate about helping others improve their mobility and strength. Kathy doesn't just work on you, she teaches you how to help yourself to improve your health.”
“Kathy always takes the time to listen to what ails me. I carry tension and stress in my shoulders and neck. Once Kathy works on me, I feel flexible and new!! Thank you for always taking excellent care of me!!”
“Thanks to her expertise, patience, and genuine care, my back is stronger and pain-free, and I’m back to doing the activities I love. I can’t recommend Kathy highly enough!”
Kathy and Kickstart Physical Therapy is absolutely amazing!! I have a lot of spine issues and after just two visits with Kathy, I could roll my neck in a circle again without pain something I haven’t been able to do in years!! Kathy is super knowledgeable and teaches as she works on different areas to help you understand what’s going on and how to help yourself which is essential to healing. She is so very nice and caring which is hard to find any more! Kathy is a diamond in the ruff!! Highly recommend!!
“I went to Kathy for back pain hoping she would be able to help as I was already weeks into not being able to stand straight or walk without pain. She met with me in such short notice and on a weekend which was incredible for my work schedule. She quickly identified the issues I was facing and was able to provide treatment that ultimately left me with relief within hours of seeing her. My only gripe is that I waited too long before seeking help! 100 percent recommend Kathy and will definitely be using again if I ever have issues agin!”
“I suffered for four years with scar tissue and terrible pain from open heart surgery and a double mastectomy. My entire rib cage was so tight and uncomfortable, all the time. I thought it would be that way for the rest of my life. Then I heard of myofascial release and found Kathy. I got relief on my first visit and I improve each time I go. Every part of the pain I was experiencing has improved and I am super grateful. I encourage anyone who has scar tissue and pain from surgery to try Kathy’s wonderful healing techniques. She’s truly a talented and knowledgeable physical therapist. Highly recommend. ”

“Before I went to see Kathy just about every muscle in my shoulders and neck were super tight which led to terrible headaches all the time. She released the tightness and tension in all the muscles and now I can turn my head and look over my shoulders which I couldn’t do before. And she has helped me with my posture which was awful. I’m still working on it. Kathy is a real life saver.”

“As an avid endurance runner, I’ve battled my share of injuries—but nothing was more frustrating than plantar fasciitis. It crept in slowly and then refused to leave, derailing my training and races. That’s when I found Kathy at Kickstart Physical Therapy, and I genuinely can’t thank her enough. Beyond the therapy itself, Kathy’s encouragement and expertise kept me motivated.
