Kathryn Matsubuchi

Kathryn Matsubuchi is one of several practitioners carrying forward the osteopathic manual therapy lineage on which Synergy was founded. Kathryn came to Synergy with 15 years of pediatric occupational therapy experience, including a 12-week specialty certification in Pediatric Neuro Developmental Treatment (NDT training. Since that time, Kathryn has vested her professional continuing education and clinical practice efforts in integrating a strong biomechanical, musculoskeletal approach with a Synergy-inspired, traditional framework of osteopathic training.    

  

Kathryn is good at identifying the myriad variables that contribute to patients’ pain presentation and care complexities, and does not stop in determining the “why?” and “how?” of movement-based challenges.  She enjoys rising to the occasion when clinical mysteries and functional obstacles create mini setbacks within patients’ OT care plans, often associated with recurring cycles of pain and immobility.

 

She excels at applying frequency-specific microcurrent in patient care to optimize pain reduction and support the nervous system homeostasis required for healing, recovery, and range-of-motion changes. She enjoys providing extensive training in the use of home pain-reduction ICARE PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) units, tailored to patients’ individualized, frequency-specific microcurrent care needs.  

 

Kathryn utilizes precision manual therapy skills, paired with compassion and a strong drive to learn. She strives to meet and exceed expectations for pain reduction and to improve patients’ functional independence, helping them accomplish their individual goals, experience improved quality of movement, and foster success in everyday moments through increasingly easy and safe movement strategies.
