Angie Bates, DPT
Angie Bates, DPT is a pediatric physical therapist in Bozeman, Montana. Her treatment experience of clients with CF is limited since respiratory therapists and parents are trained to complete “chest PT” with postural drainage positioning. Angie was recently introduced to the “Swedish Method” of treating CF which involves more active, exercise based protocols. Angie is dedicated to introducing this method to physical therapists and families in the USA by supporting training and acting as a local resource. Angie serves on the Blooming Rose Foundation board to provide support and insight from a healthcare professional’s point of view. Angie is inspired by her roommate from college who is an active adult thriving with CF. She has over 13 years of healthcare, recreational and educational work experience to help serve the Blooming Rose Foundation and its mission.
