Caitlin Peters (Cloonan)
DPT, FAAOMPTCaitlin is originally from the east coast, and became very familiar with physical therapy herself as a young competitive runner and Irish dancer. She moved to Seattle for the access to big mountains and has stayed for the love of her community and family who aren’t afraid of a little rain.
Since graduating from Northeastern University with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Caitlin has used her degree in a variety of different PT settings including: neurology, sports rehab, urgent care, return to work, and private practice. She went on to complete a fellowship in manual therapy and orthopedics which hugely solidified her passion and love for the profession of PT. Caitlin is committed to being a life-long learner as well as giving back to the profession through mentoring others and staying involved with conferences.
Caitlin works with each of her patients to understand their unique movement patterns which are contributing to their injury and pain. She will help you learn new, more efficient movement patterns which allows you to fix chronic injuries. As a fellowship-trained manual therapist, Caitlin incorporates hands-on techniques to help make movement more efficient and less painful. Caitlin loves to collaborate with her patients on setting and working towards personal goals, and is a supportive coach through the ups and downs of the process. Caitlin is excited to work with patients of all ages and abilities.
