Beyond Physiotherapy
When Katrina isn’t helping patients recover and regain strength, you’ll often find her embracing the great outdoors. Whether it’s exploring local trails, cycling along scenic routes, or venturing to far-flung corners of the globe, she brings the same curiosity and energy to her adventures as she does to her work.
Katrina believes that an active, balanced lifestyle is a key part of wellbeing, and she loves sharing this philosophy with her patients. From hiking and kayaking to discovering new cultures and experiences abroad, her adventures inspire her approach to movement, resilience, and recovery.
For Katrina, life beyond physio is about exploring, learning, and moving—making the most of every moment both at work and beyond.
