​"I urge anyone with IBS, gut issues, nausea or diarrhea to use Katrina‘s abdominal PT therapy. Katrina has changed my life. Post esophageal cancer surgery, My quality of life for 2 years was miserable. I had constant vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and monthly visits to ER. She has eliminated this with 2 months of therapy. I can hike 5 miles or row for an hour every day. Last December, I could not even walk the dog for a mile. It’s been a miracle!" - T.P. | Los Gatos, CA
Why is my gut off?
Whether you’ve dealt with constipation for years or recently developed symptoms postpartum, many factors can contribute to gut dysfunction. Beyond nutrition, your physical therapist will assess your exercise habits, menstrual cycle history, stress levels, sleep quality, antibiotic use, and any surgical history.
​
Katrina conducts a comprehensive musculoskeletal exam, focusing on the fascia—layers of connective tissue that surround and support your organs. Tight or dehydrated fascia, often caused by surgery, inactivity, chronic pain, or tension habits, can disrupt organ function.
​
Her treatment approach includes myofascial release, visceral mobilization, therapeutic exercises, stretching, massage, and breathing techniques to restore digestive function.
​
Katrina also offers personalized nutrition guidance, helping clients understand not just what to eat, but how and when to eat to support gut health and a balanced microbiome.
