Provider Bio

Cathy graduated from the University of Sydney (Australia) in 1988 with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Physiotherapy. In 1998, she received a Graduate Diploma in Manipulative Therapy from the University of Sydney. She has worked in numerous settings including acute care, rehab, orthopedics and outpatient therapy. Cathy joined BCH in 1999. She worked for 16 years in the sports medicine department and in 2015 she joined the Outpatient Rehabilitation team.

For the past 25 years, her focus has been outpatient orthopedics. Cathy's skills include trigger point dry needling, manual therapy and functional exercise. She has extensive experience in evaluating and treating all spinal conditions, whiplash, shoulder injuries, hip injuries and knee injuries. She has wide experience with degenerative orthopedic conditions as well as acute orthopedic diagnoses. Cathy has rehabilitated a wide variety of post-operative conditions including hip, knee and shoulder replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repairs, labral repairs of the hip and shoulder, and spinal fusions. She has worked with all age groups from teens to older adults. She has an interest in treating EDS and scoliosis.

Over the years, Cathy has been a lifelong learner, completing many continuing education courses. Her philosophy when treating patients is to treat everybody with respect and actively engage them in the rehabilitation process. Her goal, when possible, is to return patients to the activities that they love doing. When not at work, Cathy enjoys horse riding, hiking and being in the beautiful Colorado outdoors.
