Dr. Lisa Shaw treats an adolescent with physical therapy

In 2017 Cathy entered the private practice world, focusing her clinical efforts helping patients with pelvic health, EDS and dyautonomia issues. She has attended many conferences and continuing education courses regarding the management and treatment of these unique medical diagnoses.

With her broad range of experience across a spectrum of challenging patient needs, she has many “tools in the toolbox” to help clients achieve their best results. Cathy’s primary goal in treating her patients is to look at the whole person-psychologically, personally, nutritionally, and physically. She is interested in how all of the parts of the body interact with each other vs. treated segmented body parts in isolation.

In her free time, Cathy enjoys spending time with her husband, 3 children, and dogs as well as helping her husband with his charitable organization that helps veterans. Her hobbies include painting furniture, attending Pilates classes, and visiting the beach as often as possible. Cathy considers it the greatest honor to walk alongside and assist a patients in their healing journey.
