Kate is a chartered physiotherapist with more than 25 years’ experience, most of it in NHS community rehabilitation. She spent twelve years with the Chard Community Rehabilitation Service in Somerset, and before that seven with the community rehab team in Bath and North East Somerset, visiting people at home after a hospital stay or while living with long-term conditions. Her work covers orthopaedic surgery and fractures, falls, amputation, Parkinson’s, MND and respiratory care. She has recently trained further in osteoporosis, MND, multiple system atrophy and CBT in rehabilitation. Kate trained at the University of Southampton, worked in multi-trauma in New Zealand, and is a member of AGILE, the professional network for physiotherapists working with older people.

She works closely with GPs, district nurses, occupational therapists and social workers, and is good at pointing families towards other help they may need.

“I think it is a real privilege to work with people in their own homes – it helps me to understand what is important to them. Together, we can create a plan to make a lasting improvement to their health and confidence, so they can maximise their independence and recovery.”
