Explanation

I came to KT with what I thought was an Achilles injury. She quickly figured out I was actually having some pain in my tibialis posterior muscle. She prescribed me some exercises on my first visit to help rehabilitate the muscle and get the tendons feeling normal again. I did the exercises every other day as directed and I started to feel some improvement which was a relief - I’m a dancer so injuries can be a setback for me. On my second visit two weeks later, she took a look at my foot again. She prescribed different exercises this time which I’ve been doing for around 2 weeks now. KT said it could take up to 12 weeks for the muscle and tendons to feel normal again. But with her help, I’m already well under way to achieving that after only 6 weeks. I can’t recommend KT enough. If you have an injury you need help with, she is the best of the best. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her. Thank you, KT!

Explanation

My training routine usually consists of long distance running, strength training and stretching. Without changing my routine I had started to notice my hips feeling worn out after long runs and discomfort when standing back straight after deadlifts. KT worked with me to diagnose what muscles specifically were the source of the pain and the root cause. Over the course of my sessions we looked at my current form and improvements in compound exercises, in addition to new exercises that would aid in strengthening the surrounding muscles to my hips, as well as manual physiotherapy. In between sessions I would have assigned exercises to complete, allowing me to progress to more intense exercises once ready. If I was concerned about my form or unsure I was doing anything right, we were able to use the gym space to check this and correct/improve my practice. There was not a moment post diagnosis where I was unsure of what I was doing or why, the path to recovery was very clearly communicated to me and I felt comfortable asking questions where I needed too. KT was super professional and super positive throughout the journey which helped me to feel optimistic when not at my best. She accounted for me personally in the recovery plan, meaning whilst my training changed in areas, I did not have to stop running or strength training completely at any point. I feel very positive about my recovery and am working on preventing this issue from reoccurring in future. I would absolutely recommend and return to KT for physio or advice in future

Kathryn has been exceptional, she took the time before every session to explore the issues and what exercises need to be executed depending on the pains. She is knowledgable on how to rehabilitate the problem and work through each issue. I highly recommend her.

I think that having such a detail oriented physio was exactly what I needed. She had such a great approach of treating the injury serious and subtle enough such that I was able to shake it off in a very quick fashion.

Explanation

I seriously injured my knee (ACL and PCL full rupture) skiing in February this year, and at the end of March I started a series of physiotherapy sessions with KT, which finished in September. At the beginning I had decided to try to avoid a surgery, to see how I can improve my knee and then to decide about further steps. I am not an athlete running marathons or playing soccer or tennis etc., but I am quite active, and my goal was to return to normal life. And I achieved this goal, and I am sure this is thanks to KT ! KT has been very knowledgeable, professional, methodical, paid attention to details and really listened to me. During each sessions she made an assessment, clearly explained what is happening and answered all my questions. And then proposed next exercises and steps, where I appreciated that she was not too ‘soft’ and her guidance and exercise and instructions were at the right level, pushing me to improve and rebuild my abilities and achieve the goals. Now I am back to normal life, and my legs are actually stronger now. When we started the sessions in March I could barely walked, limping heavily, and going up or down a staircase was a quite painful challenge, and I was not overly optimistic about the future; now last Saturday I made a 25 km walk, walking fast, and I did not feel any pain in my knee at all. So overall, a very positive experience !

I came to Katie with an old injury that had been irritated and had come back. My previous experience with this injury had not been a good one, as no one was ever able to diagnose it and it took a long time to heal. Katie discovered the issue within our first session and got to work on manual therapy along side exercises. She was concise and calm, elevating any of my fears and worries along the way. The exercises were great for strengthening my injured hamstring and were changed every few weeks. My injury drastically improved and is now completely healed, I am so grateful! I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with an injury, she was so kind, informative and knowledgeable.

Explanation

KT is an excellent physiotherapist and shows great care for her clients. I was referred to physio after a car accident which left me with whiplash (persistent neck/shoulder/upper back pain, constant headache, nausea) to the point where I was unable to work. I hadn’t done much research prior to choosing a physio and mainly picked based on convenience of the location (Third Space Sports Medicine, Canary Wharf), however I thank my lucky stars that it was KT who I had chosen. I really appreciated KT’s empathy and understanding; it was the first time I had felt someone had really listened and understood the pain I was in. She is very knowledgeable and explained in detail the science behind my pain, and in how to overcome this. My treatment consisted of both manual manipulation as well as exercises which she updated based on my progress, these started from basic head/neck movements and advanced to strength & mobility exercises in the gym (which was my choice, these could have been tailored to home). KT also referred me to her neighbouring Osteopath, Tom, where they both provided complementing services, which I have really benefitted from. Prior to the accident, I had recently gotten back into sprinting, KT not only focused on getting me back to working full time but went an extra step giving me exercises to support my sprinting and re-build my athletic foundations. I am extremely grateful for KT’s services and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance for rehabilitation or to overcome injury!

I worked with KT after sustaining a complex shoulder from a ski accident. It was really painful and scary. I needed help slowing myself down with my recovery as I was super keen to get back to lifting in the gym. KT has been excellent throughout the process. I feel very cared for and listened to in each of my sessions. KT knows when to push me and when to slow me down. Even through a recent complication of my healing she has guided and supported me step by step. I wouldn’t want to have done my rehab with anyone else. I 100% recommend her.

KT has been incredibly professional and listened carefully to my ailments. I could tell she was methodically trying to troubleshoot where the issues lay and gradually built up my strength. At the start of every session, we would also do a review of the last few weeks and whether I had noticed any progress. I really appreciate KT's help, patience and professionalism.
