Dr. Cate has been a PT since 2006.

Prior to becoming a PT, Dr. Cate was a certified Kickboxing Instructor at the University for 4 years. At that time, she also gained her Personal Training certificate. It was her love of physical development, precise athletic movement, the empowering & affiliative coaching styles she experienced as a young athlete, & the love of studying the human body that compelled her into the PT field.

Through active- listening , thoughtful questioning and examination I am able to provide patients with the best treatment plan for their specific ailment/ injury with the latest evidence-based approach. I am available to active patients daily through the patient portal to answer any questions, or make any clarifications necessary. I focus on one on one treatments with clients to provide more attention to each patient and ultimately increase patient speed of recovery.

I have been practicing as a sports specialized physical therapist since 2010. I utilize a very manual based approach to treatment and have experience in several facets of instrument assisted treatment including cupping, dry needling, and Graston techniques. I utilize muscle energy technique, ART, and PNF commonly in treatment. I personally have also been a triathlete since 1999 and have competed at all levels in all distances. I also enjoy men's league ice hockey, and grew up playing soccer in high school. Treating athletes is my passion, but I treat all my patients as if they are professional athletes.
