Get To Know Me: Dr. Kate Mosteller

August 21, 2023

Yes this blog post is all about me. But really it's more about how I can help you.

1. Why did I choose to join the Activcore Druid Hills (Atlanta, GA) team? I chose to join Activcore because the environment allows me to provide the best care possible. The one-on-one structure gives me the opportunity to get to know my patients on a deeper level and tailor my treatment sessions to their specific needs. I also enjoy working side-by-side with Pilates instructors through our integrated approach that combines PT and performance.

2. What do I love about being a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)? Something I love about being a physical therapist is being able to watch my patients achieve their goals. Assisting them in reaching their full potential with movement and exercise is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.

3. What does it mean to be a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS)? This means I went through an orthopedic residency program where I received extensive training and clinical mentorship to obtain a deeper knowledge and skill set for treating complex musculoskeletal injuries. This experience allowed me to apply the most up-to-date evidence based practices when treating my patients to assist them in reaching their goals.

4. What are some of my interests/hobbies outside of work? Outside of work, I love to go to my favorite cycling studio, read, and hang out with my fiance and friends.

5. How do you get in touch with me? I am available for appointments in our Atlanta, Georgia location. To get started contact Activcore Druid Hills.

2 Lifestyle Changes You Can Make To Improve Performance and Prevent Injury

Yes, these are important habits to build and maintain for our overall health, but let’s talk about WHY they are so important.

Why Nordic Hamstring Exercises are Important for Soccer Players

In my last blog post, I talked about the most common soccer injuries, and how I use a suspension system from Norway to help my clients overcome injury and get back to an active life by rebalancing their muscles. Today I'm going to talk specifically about how I apply suspension exercises to strengthen the hamstring, since this group of muscles (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, and Biceps Femoris) is so difficult and painful to heal from when injured.
