Meet Kate

Growing up as a competitive figure skater, Kate never actively sought out the GYROTONIC® Method. Rather, at only 16 years old, it was one of her teachers that first introduced her to GYROKINESIS®. After her first class, Kate remembers feeling taller and more open. Realizing it would be beneficial addition to her skating training, she continued with twice weekly GYROKINESIS® and GYROKINESIS® classes. Soon, everyone began to notice how Kate appeared more long, lean and graceful on the ice.

Fast forward to now, the GYROTONIC® Method has become an integral part of Kate’s life both personally and as a Physical Therapist. Following two hip surgeries, it was the GYROTONIC® Method that Kate feels helped her recover fully. For Kate, the GYROTONIC® Method “…is the thing that brings me back home in my body. It forces me to be aware of any physical imbalances and the movement, principles and equipment help to bring me back to center.” She became a Certified GYROTONIC® Teacher in 2008 and then completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2013. As both a GYROTONIC® Teacher and Physical Therapist, Kate enjoys integrating the two together. She feels the GYROTONIC® Method made her a better Physical Therapist and taught her how to think outside the box.

As a Physical Therapist, Kate enjoys helping people rehabilitate from injuries of all kinds. Prior to joining us at Movement Design Lab, Kate worked at Neuroworx in Sandy, UT specializing in neurorehabilitation and has spent the last year and a half out East working at Elements Fitness & Wellness Center in Washington, DC, Spaulding Rehab in Boston, MA, and GYROTONIC® Boston Central in Boston, MA. She appreciates working with anyone who is open minded, eager to learn, change and improve themselves. She enjoys teaching patients and clients how to find balance in their bodies and confidence in their physical abilities. She loves helping them improve their performance in daily life, sport or recreation and to help them recover as fully as possible from injury and/or prevent injury.
