KATIE AROSTEGUI
Hey Friends!
Welcome to The Graceful Athlete where my goal is to help elevate your movement function and fitness lifestyle. I offer customized massage, bodywork, and fitness programs designed to compliment a prescribed exercise program (provided by your physical therapist) or as a stand alone "spot treatment" to promote and support healing, function, and improve posture.
The Graceful Athlete is dedicated to promoting a healthy balanced lifestyle, physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a dancer, I know first hand how devastating a major injury or diagnosis can be. I can't promise I will have all the answers, but I do commit to supporting my clients by staying focused on their individualized treatment plan as I work within my scope of practice. If you're ready to get you back to doing the things you love, schedule a free introductory call today!

TESTIMONIALS
Total Package
I am a healthcare professional. I have been a chiropractor for over 25 years. I've had the opportunity to work with 100's of massage therapists, stretching therapists and therapists with many different abilities. Katie, The Graceful Athlete is the total package. She is compassionate, professional and offers one of the most comprehensive skill sets I have seen. Above all, she always spends time listening to your actual needs and develops a personalized treatment plan to fit your specific problem. I highly recommend her service.

Adapts To My Needs
I started working with Katie because I felt the exercising I was doing wasn’t making a difference. Katie coached me on effective workouts, demonstrating proper techniques and equipping me with the knowledge and tools to achieve my health goals. She customized a plan to my specific needs and physical condition, adapting it as my abilities and goals changed. Assisted stretching and massage techniques enhanced my progress, helping me be attuned to my body, aid in recovery, reduce stress, and I always feel better. Sessions with Katie are key to me maintaining physical wellness into my daily routine. Her positive and encouraging nature motivates me and keeps me accountable and focused on wellness.

Customized Treatment Sessions
Working with Katie is a pleasure. She is incredibly kind and listens to all your concerns and tailors a custom session to your needs. I have been receiving Graston technique followed by massage to help reduce and break up adhesions that have been causing pain and restrictions. Katie is very professional and clearly tells you what tools and techniques she is using and what to expect throughout the session. She genuinely cares about finding the best treatment practices possible for you and making a treatment plan that suits your needs.
