Kate enjoys treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions across all ages. Kate has a particular interest in treating children and women, having completed further study in Pediatrics and Obstetrics.

Kate’s interest in treating women began early in her Osteopathic career following the completion of her Masters Research where she investigated the effect of Osteopathic treatment on period pain.

Kate places great importance in educating patients in causative behaviours, aggravating factors and self management strategies to complement her Osteopathic treatment. Kate also enjoys treating headaches and jaw dysfunctions where she finds her Osteopathic approach often provides relief. When treating patients, Kate first performs a thorough examination to determine if it is safe to treat her patient, then proceeds with a variety of musculoskeletal techniques with the aim of reducing pain and improving function.

Kate has also performed further training in Clinical Pilates and as such brings this experience into her consultations. Kate frequently utilises this training in her treatment and management of low back pain, postural complaints and pre/ post pregnancy.
