Kate is a physiotherapist with post graduate qualifications in pelvic floor rehabilitation. She has been working in the field of Women’s and Men’s Pelvic Health since 2002 and only treats conditions involving pelvic floor dysfunction.
She has extensive experience treating urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, prolapse, functional bowel disorders and persistent pelvic pain.

As such the goal of all treatments is to ensure you can live your life to its fullest with minimal impact from pelvic floor dysfunction.
