A word from Kate

Her story

Kate's journey as a

physiotherapist

Kate loves working with the body – “I learn every day from the people I work with. The body has a natural intelligence if we listen to it; it tells us everything we need to know about who we are and how to look after ourselves so that we can be truly well and vital.

Kate’s work is based on an understanding and respect of the natural healing processes of the body. “As a younger physio I used all the normal sorts of physiotherapy treatments that were in theory helpful, but in reality only gave short term relief and in most cases were not very beneficial for chronic pain.”

“For years I was searching for a truly effective way of supporting the body with chronic pain and other traditionally difficult to treat conditions.”

This saw Kate travel to the USA and Ireland for her work and study.

In Boston in the early 90s Kate was introduced to Myofascial Release Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy. This was the start of her love of the wonders of connective tissue. From here began an ongoing learning of the amazing qualities of connective tissue and its role, not only for the body's organ systems but for the overall balance and vitality of the human being.

In Kate's words

The missing key

Now, when I treat someone, it is with the consideration that they are a physical, emotional and energetic being. If someone comes to me with a chronic, painful and stiff shoulder, I no longer just treat the relevant muscles and joints. I offer them the support to consider whether the way they have been living and treating their body may have contributed to an imbalance (internal and or external) that has led to the physical problem.

Kate is such a compassionate, deeply caring Physiotherapist, who truly listens and cares for people. Kate knows the body very well, with all its intricate workings and design. She explains everything so simply and clearly and treats the body as a whole, not just in parts. I love how each one of her specific techniques has such a gentle return of movement that I have found extremely effective. As a result of seeing Kate on various occasions, I can now feel more space in my body, instead of the denseness and pain I used to feel. Since knowing her, I have built a deeper, more solid relationship with my body and its posture. I deeply value and appreciate Kate and the work she offers, and I highly recommend her to anyone, she is a very supportive Physiotherapist, that made a huge difference to my body in how I live and move today.

I have been seeing Kate Greenaway for almost 2 years now for lower back and hip pain and vestibular migraine. Kate has supported me with connective tissue therapy in addition to various physiotherapy exercises that have helped immensely with pain management and sleep. She is incredibly intuitive and her ability to read the body and determine the underlying cause is remarkable. She is deeply caring and very down to earth. Highly, highly recommend!

I have been working closely with Kate for many years to support me with several issues with my neck, back and hips. Kate's specialised and precise support has been invaluable! She has always listened carefully and understood my concerns with whichever part of the body I had difficulties and pain. Kate has given me specific exercises to do which alleviated the chronic pain I was experiencing and allows me to move easily in my day. The chronic pain in my neck continues to remain controlled with Kate's support and with the exercises I do. Furthermore, the pain in my hips is also controlled because of the exercises Kate has given me, otherwise I would have required major surgery many years ago. It is an absolute joy working with Kate!

I injured my back a few months ago and was in a lot of pain and had limited mobility. Then I started seeing Kate Greenaway for Physiotherapy treatment.By this stage I was very fearful of reinsuring my back and so quite protective. Kate's treatment was gentle and yet extremely supportive instilling trust and gradually more confidence in my body.Massage and connective tissue release slowly and patiently(Kate's very patient) lessened my pain and increased mobility. Her knowledge of the mechanics and anatomy of the body is fantastic and my body has strengthened through the exercises given and correction of my posture. I'm feel very fortunate that I found Kate and would highly recommend her.

Kate’s sessions are simple, practical and very healing for the body. She has supported me to stay in check with a harmoniously moving body and has shown me simple but powerful exercises that I can bring into my day to day at home or work to support how I am moving on a daily basis. A session with Kate extends far beyond the session room. I would not be as strong, wise and aware of my body and how it all works without Kate and her wealth of wisdom about the body.
