Bio

Katherine (Kayte) Forester PT, DPT, OCS, CLT-LANA

Kayte was born and raised in Texas. She attended Southwestern University, majoring in Kinesiology. Intrigued by the field of academia and research, she decided to pursue a Masters in Exercise & Sports Science at Texas State University. As a graduate student, Kayte collaborated with the exercise science, nutrition, and physical therapy departments to research behavior change theories, and at that time decided to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy. Kayte went on to earn her DPT from South College in Knoxville, TN. Kayte is a board-certified orthopedic specialist (OCS) and LANA certified lymphatic therapist (CLT-LANA).

Kayte’s main focuses of practice are orthopedics conditions and lymphatics/chronic swelling. She is passionate about the lymphatic system and how the field of physical therapy can better intervene and treat swelling.

Kayte is also passionate about teaching. She serves as adjunct faculty for South College DPT and Baylor University DPT programs, serves as a residency mentor, senior mentor, Confluent Health Core 4 Lead Faculty, and residency faculty for Texas Physical Therapy Specialists.

Kayte enjoys the process of course development and collaborating with adult learners. She has co-authored two courses and has presented at state and national level conferences. The weekly engagement with residents is like kindling.

Outside of the clinic, you can find her running after her toddler, playing with her dogs, floating in any (fresh) body of water, listening to her husband’s live music, singing, painting, or fishing.
