Kate Obermiller, PTA, CLT-LANA earned her AAS Physical Therapist Assistant from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, in 1987. She is LANA certified in Lymphedema Management and Kinesiotaping. Certification Program in Complete Decongestive Therapy and Manual Lymph Drainage (Vodder technique by the ACOLS in 2005).
Massage therapy is a manual, soft tissue therapy used to relieve pain and stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and induce relaxation. It has a long history of practice across many different cultures and has branched into many different types of massage. In addition to her Physical Therapy license, Mollie underwent specialized training to become a Licensed Massage Therapist as well.
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles and does not have the self-healing capabilities that muscles possess, yet it can become injured, distorted, and cause musculoskeletal pain. Myofascial release is a manual therapy that mobilizes and heals the fascia by applying pressure to the afflicted areas with the therapist's hands.
Orthopedic physical therapy is rehabilitation within the patient's orthopedic system, which includes muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Got it. Muscle sprain? No problem. We have decades of experience with the broad range of symptoms and situations that fall under general orthopedic physical therapy.
After surgery, the body needs guidance throughout the healing process. Time and rest are rarely enough, and your surgeon will most likely prescribe physical therapy to rehabilitate the surgical region to restore proper movement and function. Alante is an out-patient, orthopedic physical therapy clinic, and well equipped to lead you through the post-op phase of your condition.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Alante Physical Therapy and Wellness. I am grateful for everything Alante has done to help me with my Lymphedema (which was due to breast cancer treatment). The endless hours Kate and the other professionals at Alante have spent with me have helped my arm as well as my state of mind. As a long-time Lymphedema patient, it is easy to lose hope, yet the Alante staff did so much to alleviate my pain and my fear. The professionalism Alante has shown and provided me are beyond compare. As always, I will be a continued patient with Alante because I know

I have had swelling in my foot/leg for years and figured it was just one of those things I had to live with. However, after seeing a new PCP I was finally diagnosed with lymphedema and referred to Alante. Kate Obermiller is a lifesaver and is extremely knowledgeable and gifted! Everyone in the office is super friendly and efficient. I highly recommend going to Alante and seeing Kate if you or someone you know suffers from lymphedema. It'll be worth the investment in your health!

I've been receiving lymphedema care at Alante for over six months and ALL of my care and interactions have been positive, professional, and, most important, CARING. I came to Alante based on a recommendation from a friend, and have continued my care with them despite the fact that they are "out-of-network" with my insurance.
In addition to being a first-rate lymphedema therapist, Kate Obermiller has been a wonderful resource for referrals to medical supply companies for the supplies I've needed which Alante does not carry, while Alante maintains very fair pricing on the supplies they do carry

I have had back problems for over 5 years. I have been to a physical therapist, a chiropractor, Airrosti, two pain management doctors, have had an MRI, CT scan, X-rays, etc. and nothing has relieved my pain. I was referred to Mollie at Alante, and for the first time in 5 years, I now have relief from my back pain. She is a miracle worker. I can sleep through the night; I wake up pain free. She has shown me several exercises that relieve my pain during the day. I am definitely getting better, and for the first time in years, I feel hope that I will be 100% pain free during the day. I cannot recommend

This place is awesome! Mollie is an amazing physical therapist and really knows how to help people with their aches and pains. You get one on one therapy where the focus is completely on you for the entire time. Also, Kate is the best person in San Antonio to help you with your Lymphedema. The entire staff is kind and very friendly and will make you feel right at home. If you need physical therapy this is definitely the place for you.
