Kate specializes in a thorough assessment process to diagnose and prescribe specific joint mobilizations followed by a simple motor control exercise program to maximize recovery. Personalized care that treats the whole body. Patients typically find their movement is restored without needing surgery or medication anymore.
Many patients have tried traditional PT and various other interventions. Most patients recognize vast improvements and pain reduction during their first visit. Providing high quality one on one care reduces the number of total visits, therefore costing less. Some patients travel out of state seeking the care they are unable to find locally.

Services
To offer greater patient care and quality by coupling Manual Physical Therapy techniques with one on one care that treats the whole body. Kate is not constrained by inadequate time slots or multiple providers. Exclusively treating her patients empowers her to attain better results in less visits and allows for her to practice using evidence based medicine.
My unique advanced Masters degree in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from Australia coupled with my 20 plus years of experience allows me to provide the best care. Correcting motor patterns not only gets rid of pain, but also fixes the cause of pain. Quality one-on-one care that treats the whole patient.
Third study recently published, finds patients who seek direct PT services pay less and get better over seeing a primary care physician first. Thank you for your interest in Hoppensteadt Physiotherapy, and in your health. For your convenience please find the new patient forms available for download.
Finally some relief from a post-concussion headache! Exercises made a huge difference and Kate's teaching of how my body was or wasn't working helped me to understand the progression of recovering. I suffered from heel pain for months and had numerous injections. Kate treated my back and gave me some hip exercises that took my heel pain completely away!

I have been receiving treatments from Kate for more than 10 years. In fact, I followed her from Charlotte to Asheville. Her diagnostic skills and treatment interventions are second to none. She is knowledgeable, impeccably trained and exquisitely intuitive about all things physical. I was initially referred to her for physical therapy for a herniated disc. I have fully recovered from effects of that… And continue to consult with her for regular treatment of things that need attention. I am extremely active and hard on my body, and Kate keeps me “in line “. You will not be disappointed!

After suffering a debilitating back injury, I began looking for a PT and I found Kate. As a physical therapist myself, I know what to look for in a physical therapist. Kate is the most knowledge and skilled physical therapist I have met in the 20+ years I have been in the field of physical therapy. And I have been around many :). Her knowledge, hands on skills and compassion are second to none. Working with Kate has allowed me to return to my pre injury activity levels including running and working out pain free. I am very grateful for Kate and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

If you have aches and pains, GO SEE KATE! And if you have symptoms that other medical professionals can’t figure out and you are frustrated because you are not getting the help you need - GO SEE KATE! Having a great physiotherapist/physical therapist contact is like having a great car mechanic for your vehicle - when you need them, you need them. In the Western North Carolina area (and beyond) there is none better than Kate. Kate is trained at the highest level of physio/physical therapy (PT) and will utilize her expert skills to help you to recover as quickly as possible (saving you $) - that

In a world of empty promises Kate delivers. I and my wife have used her to get lasting relief after chiropractors etc failed. She has fixed our teenagers after various injuries climbing (and falling). I have sent several friends and clients and everyone raves about her professionalism and their results. Her training in Australia resulted in creating lasting relief in fewer appointments. We are raving fans and are certain you will be too!

Kate is an excellent PT!! She has helped me out twice now over the past few years for neck pain. We even just had a telehealth appointment over zoom. She really did a great job of listening to the description of my symptoms and then was able to show me different exercises to help my neck pain. All done over the computer. It worked great!! Thanks again Kate!!!

I found out about Kate through a recommendation for my stepson from a friend… at this point Kate has treated my stepson, my husband and myself. I went to see her not because I had any sort of debilitating injury, rather I had episodic back and hip pain flareups.
I have never gone to another physical therapist before, but I suspect Kate to be different from others. At no point did she suggest that I quit mountain biking or doing yoga. She gave me stretches and exercises to build up certain muscles that have helped me be pain-free. She is also helped my husband and stepson.
She also doesn’t
