Miss Caitlin McHattie

Miss Caitlin McHattie is an Australian-trained physiotherapist with six years of experience working across Australia and the UK. She has a particular interest in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, with a focus on lower-limb conditions, orthopaedic rehabilitation, chronic low back pain, tendinopathy and bone stress injuries. Her specialist interests also include overuse injuries, manual therapy, exercise therapy and Reformer Pilates.

Miss McHattie takes a collaborative and individualised approach to physiotherapy and believes that helping patients understand their injury is an important part of recovery. She combines education, hands-on treatment and progressive exercise rehabilitation to help patients build confidence in their bodies and return to the activities that matter to them.

She also has a growing clinical interest in female athlete health, particularly the relationship between training, energy availability, bone health and injury. She is committed to continuing to develop her knowledge in this area and incorporating current evidence into her clinical practice. Her more recent involvement in running and triathlon has also further developed her interest in treating runners and endurance athletes.

Sport has played a significant role in Miss McHattie's life. She spent 17 years as a competitive swimmer in Australia and also competed in water polo and netball, giving her first-hand experience of the demands of training and competition and the frustrations that can come with injury.

Whether helping someone return to competitive sport, recover following surgery, manage a persistent injury or return to the activities they enjoy, Miss McHattie aims to provide rehabilitation that is practical, progressive and tailored to the individual.
