Katelyn has a keen interest in bridging the gap between physiology and physiotherapy by linking the biochemical, cellular and physiological effects of physiotherapy and therapeutic adjuncts in physiotherapy to aid recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury. Katelyn has presented at national and international conferences pertaining to the above topic.
Katelyn combines her evidence-based knowledge with hands-on treatment, exercise based rehabilitation, shockwave therapy and dry needling to ensure optimal results. Katelyn is passionate about patient orientated goals and supporting and empowering patients return to their pre-injury level of activity and beyond. On account of Katelyn’s international gymnastics career coming to a close she now enjoys keeping fit by going to the gym, running, playing tennis and attempting to stay somewhat upright on a Stand Up Paddle board.
