About
Hello, I'm Kate.
Veterinary physiotherapist, NAVP registered, and happiest in a stable yard or on the clinic mat. Keeping animals comfortable is the absolute best job in the world.
How it started
It started with a paralysed dachshund.
My first spark of interest in veterinary physiotherapy came from visiting my auntie, an animal physio, while she was rehabbing a little dachshund paralysed by a spinal disc problem (IVDD). Seeing what physio could do for him stuck with me.
While I was at college and university I worked at an equine swimming centre, helping horses through rehabilitation and conditioning programmes, and my interest in equine athletes grew from there. I qualified with a BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Physiotherapy and set up KD Veterinary Physiotherapy in 2023.
