Our Team

Kate graduated from Bradford University in 1998 with a Second Class Honours Degree in Physiotherapy. Having spent over ten years within the NHS, specialising in musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, Kate has an in-depth understanding of medical and neurological conditions, and is therefore confident when treating clients with pre-existing and chronic problems.

Kate joined PEAK in January 2009 where she works full-time as a Specialist MSK Physiotherapist. Post-graduate courses have included manual therapy, McKenzie techniques, kinetic control/muscle imbalance and the management of chronic pain conditions. Kate is also one of our qualified ante/post-natal therapists, dealing with musculoskeletal problems arising from pregnancy and labour. In 2016, Kate completed her acupuncture training and she really enjoys this addition to her clinical practice, getting great results with her clients.

Kate is a keen runner who completed the London Marathon in 2009, and as such has a special interest in sports/running-related injuries.

Outside of work, when she isn't pounding the streets in her running shoes, Kate loves to spend time with her family, and she tells us that she is an avid member of a book club – though we recently found out that this involves more eating cake and drinking tea than discussing the contents of a book!
