Kathleen Costello

My name is Kat – I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist practicing at Thrive Health of Sayville for the past two years, focusing primarily on orthopedic acupuncture and athletic injuries. My interest in acupuncture first began with my own experience with a stubborn, chronic running injury in high school. I found that acupuncture was the only treatment that provided me any relief, and was ultimately what allowed me to continue running track and field competitively through high school and into college at the D1 level.

Prior to earning my Master’s of Science in Acupuncture in 2021, I graduated top of my class from the Stony Brook Athletic Training Program. It was here that I honed my skills in orthopedic evaluation and treatment of injuries – skills that I still use with every patient. I have upheld my status as a board certified Athletic Trainer, and am able to draw on my background in sports medicine every day here at Thrive.
