She has 17 years of experience in the profession and has recently earned the title of D.P.T., the clinical doctoral for physical therapists, from Simmons College in Boston Massachusetts. She has written and published a home study course for physical therapists titled “Evaluation and treatment of the temporomandibular dysfunction from a multidisciplinary perspective.” She has also written and published several articles in physical therapy publications on the importance of maintaining high professional competencies and behaviors in order to seek excellence in patient care. She has also been involved with health promotional programs in conjunction with Simmons College, Boston Massachusetts (See Mormile PT in the News).
Although head and neck orthopaedics are Dr. Mormile’s most sought after specialty areas, as an orthopaedic specialist, she also evaluates and treats all very difficult spinal and extremity injuries of the shoulders, arms, legs, and ankles/feet. She incorporates tailored and personalized exercise health promotion, and self-help strategies into each patient program to maximize treatment success and well-being. According to the physical therapy code of ethics, she is available to consult with and mentor generalist physical therapists regarding difficult patient cases.

Together, Dr. Catherine and Donald Mormile have been co-owners of Mormile Physical Therapy in Anchorage, Alaska for over 17 years. They have lived in Alaska since 1985. They both are avid outdoor enthusiasts as they live a somewhat rural Alaskan lifestyle in a cabin north of Anchorage in the company of their 35 Alaska husky dogs, a Russian Mountain dog, a Rottweiler, and 4 cats. They both love the recreational sport of dog mushing as well as hiking, jogging, and camping. Donald just had a large greenhouse built so that they may enjoy growing and canning their own vegetables in the long Alaskan Summer days. They have both competed in and completed the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in the past and now mush for fun and relaxation. They have been happily married for 20 years and look forward to many more as they work, look for adventure, and play in beautiful Alaska together.
Come and see us. We are Alaskan grown and Alaskan owned. We run a small, personalized clinic, and our treatment rooms are quiet and private. We emphasize health promotion, wellness and prevention, and we are the only specialized TMJ clinic in Anchorage. We also offer the most specialized services in the bowl area.
