About Good Craft Physical Therapy
ABOUT DR. KATE GUTEKUNST
I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont and have spent more than 20 years studying movement through a variety of lenses, including strength training, endurance sports, CrossFit, horseback riding, equestrian training, skiing, and outdoor recreation.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and a wide range of conditions, from orthopedic injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation to chronic pain, hypermobility, vestibular disorders, and complex movement challenges.
My clinical approach combines hands-on treatment, movement analysis, functional rehabilitation, and patient education to help people better understand their bodies and return to the activities that matter most to them. I have advanced training in Active Release Technique (ART), dry needling, vestibular rehabilitation, and the management of hypermobility-related conditions.
I believe movement is best understood in context. Whether working with an athlete returning to competition, a rider getting back in the saddle, or someone navigating the challenges of everyday life, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that supports long-term health, resilience, and confidence in movement.
Mission
I believe movement is best understood in context. Whether in the clinic, at home, in the gym, on the trail, or at the barn, my goal is to help people build the strength, confidence, and resilience needed to return to the activities that make life meaningful.
