MY STORY
Just keep moving
Since 2002, I have worked as a Physiotherapist. Initially I worked within the NHS gaining valuable experience and then transferred to the private sector. I have over 12 years experience of working within the private practice.
In that time I have completed an MSc Sport Physiotherapy and worked with National League hockey, International Hockey and as a volunteer physiotherapist working with Athletics at the London 2012 Olympic games.
I am a hockey player and runner myself so I understand the need to remain fit and injury free.
My ethos is the same whether you play elite sport or are just wanting to manage day to day life. I pride myself on providing the highest quality care to help you get back to your normal activities as quickly as possible.
Located in South Manchester and Cheshire, my mission is to help you regain function and improve your overall quality of life. Get in touch to learn about my full range of services.

TESTIMONIALS
What They’re Saying
I am so pleased with the treatment I received from Kathryn recently. Not only did she sort out my dodgy ankles, but she made me feel comfortable by treating me in my own home at a time that suited me. Kathryn’s coronavirus precautions were comprehensive and made me feel safe in her hands! I fully recommend Kathryn and Hive Physio.
Gareth Harper
Kathryn I came to you as a recommendation from my surgeon... he told me your were the best! He wasn’t a liar that’s for sure! You honestly gave me the movement back in my shoulder I never imagined I would get, I am pain free and all done with your amazing smile. Not that I am planning on needing you anytime soon (!) I know I won’t look anywhere else for outstanding Physio if I do! You will already see I rate you all the time on FB too!! Infact when I was at the gym the other day and someone was clearly in shoulder pain I gave them your name as you simply made the biggest difference to me! Thank you.
