MARK HOLMES, PT, DPT, CSCS
 Growing up in Colorado, Mark knows there is no place he would rather
live. There is no other place that provides opportunities in life like
Colorado. Educated with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine/Exercise
Science from CSU, a Masters in Physical Therapy and a Doctorate in Physical
Therapy from Regis University, Mark's life is devoted to helping others achieve
the highest level of function. Mark is a Certified Strength and Conditioning
Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association
(NSCA), an active member in the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)
including the Private Practice Section, Orthopeadic Section, and Sports
Therapy Section, while being active in the Colorado Private Practice Special
Interest Group. Mark enjoys all recreational activities/sports, while spending
as much time as he can with his wife, and children.
Mark became the owner of Cactus Sport & Spine, P.C. in 2003. He is committed
to providing the highest quality of care within the clinic while emphasizing
current best evidence for treatment. Wellness is stressed within the clinic
from physical therapy, massage therapy, pilates, while providing individual
training and sport conditioning programs.
Mark has a holistic approach to rehabilitation. Looking at the body as
one chain, an extensive evaluation is preformed to find any problem that
may be contributing to the current problem. Treatment is geared toward
each individual with manual therapy, body mechanic re-education, and
exercise geared to regain motion, strength and balance. Education is
provided every visit to ensure long term understanding while returning
to the highest level of function possible.
CATHY DOYLE PT, MS
Cathy is a native to Littleton, CO. She received her Bachelor of
Arts degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington
and returned home for her Masters of Science in Physical Therapy degree
at Regis University. She has worked as a staff PT at Cactus Sport & Spine
for over 8 years.
Cathy is married with two young children, Addison and Dugan. She enjoys
spending time with her family and friends while attempting to stay young
and active by continuing to play soccer.
WENDY HODGE PT, MS
I love my job and profession. I enjoy being a Physical Therapist because
it allows me to help people return to their occupations, recreational activities
and lives. Every patient is different despite similar medical diagnosis and it
is that challenge that drives and motivates me. I strive to make each appointment
a personal experience through education. I believe that each patient must be well
informed in the mechanics of their disorders, injuries, or surgeries to help them
not only understand the recovery process but to also prevent re-injury in the future.
I have been very lucky to have lived and been educated in beautiful parts of the
world. I lived the first five years of my life in Lima, Peru. Although a short
time, I believe its when my love for other cultures began. I was fortunate to be
raised in the beauty of southern Arizona. I received my undergraduate BA from
University of San Diego in International Relations. During my undergraduate
years I was lucky to have studied in majestic Oxford England for six months
with an emphasis in liberal arts. After deciding Physical Therapy was my calling
instead of International Business and Finance, my Physical Therapy Graduate
Studies took me to tranquil and serene, Flagstaff, Arizona. After another stint
in San Diego my husband and I found ourselves three years ago moving to our home,
in front of the grand Rocky Mountains, here in Denver. We could not be happier.
In my spare time I love to ski (snow and water), play tennis, hike, rollerblade,
read and spend time with my amazing husband and two kiddos, Allie and Dylan.
KRISTEN KEMP VALENTIN PT, DPT
Kristen was first introduced to physical therapy in high school when she sustained
various injuries as a competitive soccer player. Under unfortunate circumstances,
Kristen met Mark Holmes and completed a successful stint of rehabilitation for an
ACL tear before beginning her collegiate soccer career at Wake Forest University.
Kristen loved the competitive atmosphere of the ACC and being surrounded by
teammates who were dedicated to both athletics and academics. Kristen received her
Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science in 2007. After graduation,
Kristen was inspired to help other people return to activities that they loved.
Kristen received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Regis University in 2010.
Kristen got married to fellow Wake Forest Soccer player Julian Valentin, who
went on to play professional soccer with the LA Galaxy and FC Tampa Bay. Kristen
began her career in Tampa with Select Physical Therapy where she gained valuable
experience working with patients of all ages with orthopedic and neurological
impairments. As a native of Highlands Ranch, it didn't take Kristen long to convince
her husband that Colorado was the place to lay down roots. Her husband accepted a
job with the Colorado Rockies as the Assistant Editor of Marketing and Publications
for the Rockies Magazine.
Kristen loves the relationships she develops with her patients and is dedicated to
understanding their personal goals and lifestyles to best assist them in returning
to activity without limitations. With a passion for sports, the outdoors and living
an active life, Kristen is committed to give back to the profession and inspire her
patients to achieve the highest quality of life the way a fellow colleague did for her.
ADRIAN STERANKA PT, DPT
Adrian received his Bachelors of Science in Mathematics and Economics from
Rutgers College, Rutgers University. As a physically active individual with
occasional injuries, he was exposed to the field of physical therapy early on.
His strong analytical background coupled with his desire to assist individuals
with the recovery from injuries brought him to Colorado. He received his
Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado Health
Sciences. A strong background in manual therapy has been reinforced with
extensive continuing education in assessment and manual therapy treatment of
joint dysfunction. His love of learning has brought him back to the University
of Colorado Health Science Center, where he completed his Doctor of Physical
Therapy degree.
When he is not working, Adrian enjoys snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing,
biking, photography and camping. As an active individual, as most of us are,
he has had his share of injuries and looks forward to incorporating his
experience as a patient in helping you get yourself better.
KIM BOZICH PT, DPT, CSCS
Why am I a physical therapist?
I honestly love what I do. I am dedicated to making a difference in other
people's lives. I am motivated by the challenge of analyzing the problem/dysfunction
and abnormal movement patterns and seeing a positive change from my treatment.
I enjoy empowering my patients/clients by working together with each of them as
individuals to develop an appropriate exercise program, change poor postural
habits, and make lifestyle changes as needed.
Unique skills and emphasis:
As a certified pilates teacher, my pilates knowledge is an excellent adjunct
to my manual therapy skills utilized in my physical therapy practice. I have
seen the benefits of movement/postural analysis and treatment and the
integration of the pilates philosophy in restoring a patient's quality of life.
Continuing education commitment:
In the last several years, my emphasis with continuing education has been
focused on my doctorate degree in physical therapy and my additional certification
in pilates. These two accomplishments have provided me with knowledge for more
effective and efficient treatment and client education.
Professional and community activities:
I have a strong passion for our Physical Therapy profession. I am currently
a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a co-chair of
the APTA Governmental Affairs committee, chair of the Colorado PT-Political
Action Committee, and Director at Large for the AOTA/Colorado Chapter Board
of Directors.
Personal Interests:
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two sons, Craig and Cody, my
husband Curtis, and our dog, Coors. We enjoy the outdoors, camping, biking
and just having fun.
