Katie is the newest recruit to the Kendal Physio team. We’re delighted to welcome her in a dual role supporting the admin team as well as a practicing physio.
Originally from Kendal, Katie moved back to the area to work at Kendal Physio and fulfil her goal to work within musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Katie achieved her BSc degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Sunderland.
During her studies she gained experience of using exercise therapy for women experiencing menopause symptoms and completed her undergraduate research project in this area. Throughout her varied placements Katie found a keen interest in the holistic approach to physio treatment and likes to incorporate strength and conditioning principles, learnt through participating in CrossFit, into her rehabilitation sessions.
Katie also has achieved additional qualifications in Sports Massage and Pitch-side Sports First Aid, and has previously volunteered at local sports clubs which encouraged her to take the leap into the Physiotherapy world.
After work you can find Katie in the CrossFit gym, swimming in the Lakes or any active pursuit ending with coffee and cake!
