Catherine’s main passion is diagnosing and managing complex foot, knee and ankle problems. This passion began while working at Imperial College London, UK, where she was trained as an Extended Scope Foot & Ankle Practitioner under the Internationally renowned foot and ankle surgeon, Mr Peter Rosenfeld. During this time she also co-founded the Association of Foot and Ankle Physiotherapists (AFAP, UK), a not-for-profit organisation developed to educate and upskill physiotherapists in the diagnosis and management of foot and ankle problems. Before her foot & ankle training, Catherine worked at Guys & St Thomas’ Foundation Trust, London, as an Extended Scope Spinal Practitioner.
If this wasn’t enough, this overachieving musculoskeletal ‘geek’ also completed her Master in Science (Pain: Science and Society) at King’s College London, UK. Since returning from the UK, Catherine has worked for Northern Pain Centre, Sydney, Managing Pain Clinic (John Flynn), she was co-director of a large physiotherapy practice and undertaken research with the Pain Management Research Institute (University of Sydney). She has been an invited lecturer for the Doctorate of Physiotherapy at Macquarie University and an examiner on the MSc in Medicine (Pain Management) through the University of Sydney.
Catherine is a firm believer in the quote by Haruki Murakami that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional!
On the weekends, you will find Catherine out for a (slow) run with her favourite club and having fun with her two energetic young boys.
