A word from kate...
Kate's journey as a
Physiotherapist
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 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.
The missing key. . . .
"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."
