Kaitlyn is passionate about Women's Health and has completed post graduate training in this area including the pelvic floor, pregnancy and post natal physiotherapy . She is excited to have commenced further study in a Masters of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health) through the University of Melbourne mid-year 2022.

Kaitlyn has a great appreciation for how interconnected the body is. She uses ConnectTherapy™ (a biopsychosocial framework) and The Thoracic Ring Approach™. developed by Canadian Physiotherapist Dr LJ Lee. ConnectTherapy is an approach that looks at the person as a whole and aims to identify any underlying influences/causes to your presenting problem.  It uses whole body assessment of meaningful functional movements to help  you understand your body better and to assist in the design of a targeted treatment program to help alleviate your symptoms.
