Caitlin (Cait) earned her Associates degree in Physical Therapy from Herkimer County Community College in Upstate NY and graduated in 2015. She was a student-athlete there and became a National Champion of softball her freshman year. Prior to joining our team, Cait has had experience working in outpatient rehab, skilled nursing facilities, and even school-based therapy.
Clinically, Cait has a high interest in gross motor development, orthopedic conditions, and neuromuscular disorders. She likes to see the progression of developmental milestones as well as strength and balance training. She believes patient/caregiver education plays a significant role in physical therapy outcomes and helps her patients understand why they are doing specific activities within each session.
Since joining Eastern Therapy, Cait has become an Introductory (Level A) Registered Practitioner in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI). DMI is a very exciting and new therapy technique that helps children with gross motor delays engage their muscles against gravity to promote postural responses and help integrate primitive reflexes with functional movements. This technique is unique and individualized which then helps each child progress towards their developmental milestones.
Cait wears many different hats for our company. She assists with community engagement events, marketing and collaboration between local businesses and physician offices. In her role as Clinical Team Lead, she assists in clinical operations to create the best outcomes for our patients and staff!
She moved to the Wilmington area in 2020 with her husband to be closer to family and the ocean, and is now a mother to a very happy and beautiful baby boy. When not working, she enjoys being active outdoors, going to the beach, and spending time with her family.
