Big shout out to Craig Dautrieve, Physical Therapist and all his staff for helping me achieve amazing results after my total knee replacement surgery (14 weeks 2 days ago). I highly recommend Catalyst for your physical therapy needs.

I tore my ACL last year playing soccer, the first physical therapy center I was assigned to had way too many patients and I wasn’t given the one on one help I needed. I was still limping after 9 months, so I decided to change PT and was recommended Catalyst.
Craig and Robbie saved me. I would’ve been limping the rest of my life had it not been for the one on one work and exercise routine they designed for me. They held me accountable, took the time to really learn what muscles needed work, and pushed me to excel.
Your physical therapy is truly the most important part of the recovery process

My son Lovelle was sent home from college early due to covid and he was in the middle of rehab from an ACL injury. He was struggling, Craig got him together and he taught him so much that's going to help when he goes back to school and in life in general. Everyone is amazing and so warm and inviting! I'm so grateful for his commitment in getting people back on their feet! Pun intended (smile).

Craig is such an amazing healer. He made my routine both simple to do and remember but just changeling enough for me to recover quickly. His staff is top notch. They are very professional and super nice. I felt like a part of the family. I highly recommend Catalyst Physical Therapy.

Craig dauterive is one of the best physical therapists in the greater New Orleans area and might be an even better person. He has been able to drastically improve my quality of life on two separate occasions. I highly recommend Catalyst for anyone in need of physical therapy.

Catalyst Physical Therapy has helped me a lot. Craig Dauterive , PT< DPT, has addressed my issues with concern and expertise. He offers clients one on one attention, which is not what one gets in many PT businesses. HIs staff is friendly, accommodating, and professional. I highly recommend Catalyst with Craig Dauterinve for rehabilitation needs

I currently live out of state with no family and came home to New Orleans to recover from shoulder surgery so I could have the assistance of my family. I found Catalyst Physical Therapy online. It was the best thing I ever did. Craig and his staff have been great! I highly recommend them to anyone. They truly care about your recovery and want to see you recover completely.

I am 10 weeks post op from a total knee replacement. Craig and his team came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in until my "graduation", I was felt at home. I can’t believe my rehab went so smoothly. I looked forward to each appointment and knew Craig would get me to where I needed to be without pushing too much or prolonging my sessions. He is knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. He treats each patient as if they were his only one. His staff is top notch and made each session enjoyable. If you're looking for a PT, please give Craig a call. You won't regret

I have suffered from lower back pain for years. It worsened after I was injured in an accident at work. The first doctor who treated me said that I could possibly be forced into a wheelchair, although I checked with two other doctors that did not agree. Craig and his crew were wonderful in understanding what I needed and worked to strengthen what I needed to feel confident that I could do things that I was hesitant to try for years. I’m thankful for my doctor to prescribe Physical therapy and finding Catalyst. You will not be disappointed by choosing Craig and his crew. Harley Keen
