Clinical Approach
Care at Cascade Sports Therapy is built on precision, not protocols. Dr. Deters blends manual therapy, rehabilitation, and performance-based strategies to deliver highly individualized, patient-driven care. She uses an evidence-informed, transparent model to help patients move beyond pain and reclaim goals they’ve often been told to give up on, whether they’re recovering from injury or optimizing performance.

I’ve been a lifelong athlete and found solace in sport for as long as I can remember. Sport has always been my community — a place that shaped my confidence, resilience, and sense of identity, not just physically but mentally as well. During my undergraduate years, I found rugby, fell head over heels, and never looked back.
While playing, I sustained a serious injury that landed me in the hospital. After mounting medical bills and no clear answers, I was left managing ongoing pain with little offered beyond medication. That experience led me to chiropractic care for the first time, where I finally found meaningful relief and a sense of control over my recovery.
Years later, while working for a chiropractor and preparing to apply to physical therapy school, I realized I wanted to pursue a different path. I shifted gears and entered chiropractic school, where I was also fortunate to receive a rugby scholarship. As I continued to compete and navigate my own injuries, I quickly learned that an adjustment alone was not enough. I wanted more comprehensive solutions — ones that addressed tissue health, movement, strength, and long-term resilience.
That search led me to specialize in soft tissue therapy, extremity care, and rehabilitation. Becoming a professional rugby player further shaped how I practice, teaching me how to integrate chiropractic care, rehab, and performance training in real-world, high-demand environments.
Today, my mission is rooted in those experiences: to help people move beyond pain, rebuild confidence in their bodies, and pursue goals they’ve often been told to give up on. Whether someone is recovering from injury or looking to optimize how they move and perform, I believe everyone deserves care that meets them with precision, transparency, and respect for what makes their life meaningful.
