Meet Your Practitioner
Adrienne Katke, Co-Founder and Lead Certified Practitioner
As a wife and mother of three boys, Adrienne knows firsthand what it takes to keep a busy, full life moving, and how much harder that becomes when pain gets in the way.
She channels that understanding into every session, delivered with the same care she gives her own family: precise, attentive, and fully present, helping clients break free from pain and return to the activities that matter most.
Built From Real Experience
Pamela Broder, Co-Founder and Director of Operations
Iron Root Recovery was founded after co-founder Pamela experience years of chronic pain and limited results from traditional treatment options.
After trying multiple approaches with little lasting improvement, she discovered SoftWave Therapy and experienced meaningful relief.
That experience changed her perspective on what recovery could look like.
Iron Root Recovery was created to make that same level of care more accessible to others who are ready for a different approach, one that focuses on results rather than temporary fixes.
Where Clinical Precision Meets Natural Healing
1
We work with the body, not against it. We use non-invasive technology designed to support the body’s natural healing processes, rather than override them.
2
We deliver care that is both effective and practical. We offer our services at our Woodward Avenue location and through trusted healthcare and wellness partners in the community.

The result is a model of care that combines clinical credibility with a more natural, client-centered approach to recovery.
Why We Use SoftWave Technology
SoftWave Therapy uses FDA-cleared acoustic wave technology designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response in targeted areas.
Rather than masking pain, it works by activating repair processes in damaged tissue, helping improve function and reduce discomfort over time.
It has been used globally across medical and recovery settings and is backed by decades of research and clinical application.
For the people we serve, that means access to a treatment that is:
✓ Non-invasive
✓ Efficient (~10 minutes per session)
✓ Supports longer-term recovery
Why Iron Root Recovery Exists
Pain is easy to ignore until it starts running your life.
Adrienne Katke and Pamela Broder had both reached that point.
Adrienne’s hands were failing her. Simple everyday tasks became frustrating: opening jars, writing, driving, even playing catch with her kids. Daily life came with pain, fatigue, and constant discomfort.
She told herself it was just because she was aging. It was a normal process she would have to go through and live with its effects.
Pam's situation was even more serious.
Her injuries had progressed to the point where surgery felt like the only option left. She had tried specialists, treatments, medications, and nothing worked. She was missing work. Even holding her phone became unbearable.
The hardest part wasn't the pain itself, it was the moments with her young daughter. Even holding her little hand became too painful, forcing her to let go. That was the moment she realized living with chronic pain was no longer an option.
The Turning Point
In March 2024, Adrienne discovered SoftWave Therapy. After her first treatment, everything changed.
“I didn’t realize how much my hands hurt… until they didn’t.”
Adrienne noticed something she hadn’t felt in years: no pain when gripping the steering wheel. She called Pamela right away and urged her to try it. Pam booked her appointment. For the first time in a long time, she felt hope.
The Problem No One Was Solving
The treatment worked fast. But accessing it was the challenge. The 30–45 minute drives each way for a 10-minute treatment meant nearly two hours out of the day. For busy moms and working professionals, that’s not just inconvenient, it’s unsustainable. And effective treatment requires consistency.
They both kept asking the same question: Why isn’t this everywhere?
The Mission
Adrienne and Pamela didn’t wait for someone else to fix it. They built the solution.
Adrienne came out of retirement. Pamela, went all in and took a leap of faith. They reworked their lives and embraced the uncertainty because they knew what was at stake.
Together, they founded Iron Root Recovery.
