A word from kate...

Kate's journey as a

Physiotherapist
divider

Kate loves working with the body – “I learn every day from the people I work with. The body has a natural intelligence if we listen to it; it tells us everything we need to know about who we are and how to look after ourselves so that we can be truly well and vital. 

Kate’s work is based on an understanding and respect of the natural healing processes of the body. “As a younger physio I used all the normal sorts of physiotherapy treatments that were in theory helpful, but in reality only gave short term relief and in most cases were not very beneficial for chronic pain.”

“For years I was searching for a truly effective way of supporting the body with chronic pain and other traditionally difficult to treat conditions.”

This saw Kate travel to the USA and Ireland for her work and study.

In Boston in the early 90s Kate was introduced to Myofascial Release Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy. This was the start of her love of the wonders of connective tissue. From here began an ongoing learning of the amazing qualities of connective tissue and its role, not only for the body's organ systems but for the overall balance and vitality of the human being.

"Now, when I treat someone, it is with the consideration that they are a physical, emotional and energetic being. If someone comes to me with a chronic, painful and stiff shoulder, I no longer just treat the relevant muscles and joints. I offer them the support to consider whether the way they have been living and treating their body may have contributed to an imbalance (internal and or external) that has led to the physical problem."

My body has needed support via physiotherapy at various times in my life, however, it wasn't until Kate Greenaway started treating me that things changed. I have found the gentleness of the Connective Tissue way of treating conditions way more supportive than the hard push that seems to be the norm elsewhere. Kate has been super encouraging when teaching me to exercise gently with the Connective Tissue approach and its specific exercises to develop stability and strength while rebuilding the body’s core strength in all areas. Connective Tissue treatment and exercises under Kate's guidance have made a way more noticeable difference in my mobility, wellbeing and subsequent enjoyment of life. It works. What more can I say!

I have been seeing Kate Greenaway for almost 2 years now for lower back and hip pain and vestibular migraine. Kate has supported me with connective tissue therapy in addition to various physiotherapy exercises that have helped immensely with pain management and sleep. She is incredibly intuitive and her ability to read the body and determine the underlying cause is remarkable. She is deeply caring and very down to earth. Highly, highly recommend!

I have been working closely with Kate for many years to support me with several issues with my neck, back and hips. Kate's specialised and precise support has been invaluable! She has always listened carefully and understood my concerns with whichever part of the body I had difficulties and pain. Kate has given me specific exercises to do which alleviated the chronic pain I was experiencing and allows me to move easily in my day. The chronic pain in my neck continues to remain controlled with Kate's support and with the exercises I do. Furthermore, the pain in my hips is also controlled because of the exercises Kate has given me, otherwise I would have required major surgery many years ago. It is an absolute joy working with Kate!

I injured my back a few months ago and was in a lot of pain and had limited mobility. Then I started seeing Kate Greenaway for Physiotherapy treatment.By this stage I was very fearful of reinsuring my back and so quite protective. Kate's treatment was gentle and yet extremely supportive instilling trust and gradually more confidence in my body.Massage and connective tissue release slowly and patiently(Kate's very patient) lessened my pain and increased mobility. Her knowledge of the mechanics and anatomy of the body is fantastic and my body has strengthened through the exercises given and correction of my posture. I'm feel very fortunate that I found Kate and would highly recommend her.

The physio (Kate) at this hub is excellent. I have seen her for a number of treatments for my knees and recently for my feet. Each time she has done connective tissue therapy and offered exercises to do at home. The combination of treatment especially the connective tissue therapy has been extremely helpful in healing the pain in my knees and feet. Highly recommended.

Kate’s sessions are simple, practical and very healing for the body. She has supported me to stay in check with a harmoniously moving body and has shown me simple but powerful exercises that I can bring into my day to day at home or work to support how I am moving on a daily basis. A session with Kate extends far beyond the session room. I would not be as strong, wise and aware of my body and how it all works without Kate and her wealth of wisdom about the body.

I have been seeing Rebecca for over 10 years now after being referred by one of my friends who is also an allied health professional. Rebecca is an integral part of my support system and I can confidently say I wouldn’t be the woman I am without her genuine care and support. She has helped me navigate a lot of challenging health and relationship hurdles in recent years and her level of care is out of this world. Rebecca has so much wisdom, understanding and compassion, there is truly nothing you could tell her or come to her with that she wouldn’t be able to work her magic with. I can walk in feeling the lowest of lows and walk out with my spark back. Highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Rebecca for Chakra puncture, and each session has been nothing short of transformative. Every time I go, I feel cleansed and as though the blocked energy that's been holding me back has been released. Rebecca has such a warm and welcoming presence — she creates a safe, healing space where I can truly let go and realign. I always leave with a sense of clarity and direction, and her work has genuinely helped me move into the next stage of my life. I’m so grateful for her and the healing she brings. Highly recommend to anyone looking to reset, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.

I’ve been seeing Rebecca for around seven years and the journey of working with her has been truly life changing. What started as me searching for a ‘quick fix’ energy healing session, has evolved into a deeply profound, empowering and mind blowing journey of discovery and awareness... with many tears, laughter and magical 'aha moments' along the way. Rebecca is warm, grounded, wise and relatable and a highly experienced, intuitive and skilled practitioner. She has a natural ability to make you feel at ease and hold space, free from judgment, no matter who you are or where you’re at. If you’re curious about booking a healing session, do it! At the very least, you’ll enjoy a beautiful healing treatment and walk out feeling a little lighter and more energised, but it could also be the start of something transformative that enriches your life and the people around you in a profound way.
