Reviews

Kat is amazing! She has extensive knowledge of the body and and serious physical therapy skills. She has helped me to reduce a substantial amount of chronic pain that I have lived with for years. Highly recommended.

Kathleen Gendron is an exceptional physical therapist and a great person. Kathleen is caring and compassionate, listens well and has an intuitive touch. When doing body-work she’s able to understand how far/deep to go without inflaming me further. Kathleen is clear in instructions for home exercises also. I am able to understand what I’m doing and what the goal is and how to do them without injury. Lastly, Kathleen is really pleasant and professional to work with. She’s truly the best physical therapist I’ve encountered.
