Kate Montgomery Bio

Sports Touch is dedicated to providing health education to people and organizations, with efforts dedicated to healing the whole body.  We believe our work benefits society as a whole.  We utilize accumulated knowledge, solid data, and facts to help empower people on ways they can become responsible for gaining control over the quality of their health and lifestyle.  Armed with solid information, people make educated decisions about taking charge of their health.  Kate Montgomery, Naturopathic Doctor, certified sports massage therapist, and celebrated author (The Athletic Ritual, and End Your Carpal Tunnel Pain Without Surgery), established Sports Touch in 1985.  The Sports Touch goals are commitment to research, to the dissemination of knowledge in the areas of natural healing, quality of life, repetitive stress disorders (RSD’s), and scientific-oriented nutritional programs.  We are currently studying the pioneering works (hair tissue mineral analysis) of Drs. Paul Eck, Lawrence Wilson, and Joseph D. Campbell, and the affect on health problems such as obesity, sedentary lifestyles, environmental toxicity, and behavior modification (due to poor nutrition and drugs).

Kate has been involved in the RSD movement - to bring about change since - the early ‘90’s.  Much of her focus in RSD research and education has been devoted to women.  RSD strikes women more often then men.  It is ranked near the top in reported injury cases for women, with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) accounting for nearly sixty-two percent of all work-related repetitive strains.  CTS is the second most performed surgical procedure for work related injuries.  With the break-through book, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Prevention & Treatment, (‘92) later re-titled and published by Rutledge Hill Press, End Your Carpal Tunnel Pain Without Surgery, (‘98) thousands of people have avoided surgery for CTS, and found healing through The Montgomery Method.

Through the use of musculo-skeletal injury reduction techniques, we have been instrumental in improving the performance and longevity of professional and Olympic athletes, and extended the careers of many professional musicians.  We continue our work today - providing workshops and seminars for industry groups and various organizations.

A new addition, and keeping with our tradition of healing the mind/body connection, we are in the development stages of launching Spirit Tours for Women.  Tours are held in exotic locations throughout the world, with emphasis on “teaching women how to uncover the secrets to the maps of her body.”  Our goal is to help women discover the delicate art of “healing oneself,” while developing the innate skills as a Spirit Healer.

At Sports Touch, we strive to meet the needs for those that need our help.  We incorporate unique, flexible, and innovative techniques that are simple, easy to learn, and in most instances, achieve an immediate healing response.  We believe in an honest approach to wellness - through integrity and forthrightness.
