Kate McCormack
Physiotherapist
B.Sc. (Hons) Physiotherapy (UK)
Kate graduated from Cardiff University in the U.K. and specialises in musculoskeletal physiotherapy with a special interest in women's health. She is experienced in treating post-natal injuries, including post-labour tears and haematomas, episiotomies, pain, and tight pelvic floor muscles. She is also trained in assessing and treating incontinence resulting from stress on the pelvic floor, overactive bladder and prolapse, for women of all ages. Read more

Kate's musculoskeletal interests include neuropathic pain (pain caused by damage to the nerves) in both the lower back and neck, as well as lower limb injuries. Her skills in neurological physiotherapy help her optimise function through facilitation of muscles, gait re-education, and re-training the brain to regain movement and co-ordination.
She accumulated her training and practical experience in an acute NHS hospital, where she focused on musculoskeletal, orthopaedic post-operative, elective and trauma surgeries, as well as acute stroke rehabilitation.
Kate also enjoys assessing gait, biomechanics and exercise form, which enables her to confidently identify weaker areas which have contributed to injury. Her main aim is to prevent injuries through combining an exercise approach with manual therapy, sports massage, and education to achieve patient goals.
Kate's passion for physiotherapy stems from her love of sports, being active and wanting to understand our body’s complex ability to perform these activities. She trained with her University rowing team, also partaking in athletics, tennis and growing up dancing, running and swimming. This practical experience allows her to understand and treat most sporting injuries.
