Testimonials

”FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE. Kate looks at the body as a whole (both physically and emotionally) and is able to identify and treat the root cause of the pain. This type of Physiotherapy is much more logical and effective than traditional Physiotherapy. The best physio I have come across – thank you Kate.”

Stacey

“I cannot sing enough praises for the treatment I received from Kate. Instead of treating the symptoms, she treated the cause of the problem.”

Tara (a professional triathlete)

”Kate has terrific skills and sensitivity – she treats the whole person, not just the symptoms”

Emma

Alex

“Kate used a technique called visceral release to work on my internal organs, the effect has been amazing. I have had several sessions with Kate and the pain in my hip has almost gone. I can move freely and walk more easily.”

Mary

“I have been seeing Kate on and off for several years now. She is incredible, no matter what my ailment and I have had various over the years, she has always managed to reduce my pain and increase my mobility. She is very professional but keeps a great balance of being personal too. I have been to many other physios but I will not see anyone else now.”
