Meet Our Team

As a teenager Kathryn suffered from upper back problems and was treated by an osteopath with great results.  This inspired Kathryn so much she went on to qualify at the British School of Osteopathy in 2002.  Since training she has studied dry needling (western acupuncture) and uses this approach a lot within her treatment plans as it is a gentle yet effective way of creating changes within the tissues for both the chronic and acute patient.

Kathryn also gained her APPI Pilates certificate in 2004 completing both her matwork 1 and 2 qualifications and then subsequently pre/post natal pilates training at the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute. Whilst she no longer teaches Pilates in a class setting she often uses Pilates to help rehab her patients aiding their recovery.

More recently, in 2017 she trained in the use of shockwave therapy (NICE approved), an effective treatment approach for, amongst other conditions, chronic tendon issues. Kathryn is a registered practitioner for the Arthritis Action Charity and many private healthcare companies including AXA.

Kathryn joined Walnut Grove Clinic in 2007 and is married to Steve and they have two children, plus Rufus the spaniel. She loves going on long walks, the occasional run (!) and is a very keen kettlebeller, having done this form of strength training for well over 5+ years as she believes strength training is an important component to injury prevention and keeping healthy especially as we get older.
