This enables them to return to normal functioning and improve their quality of life and feeling of wellbeing. Katrina strives to make the client independent rather than dependent, and uses a holistic approach. Katrina completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) in 1997 at Rotterdam University, Netherlands, and while living in Europe she also studied the Dr Vodder method for Lymphatic drainage. As a result she is a registered and accredited lymphatic practitioner. Katrina has worked in a variety of settings, from private practice treating musculoskeletal problems, to a large rehabilitation and geriatric (elderly) centre, working on the stroke unit and with orthopaedics, geriatric rehabilitation and psychiatric care. She has also worked for two large Melbourne hospitals – The Epworth Richmond and St Vincent’s Hospital. While there her focus was in the acute neuroscience unit, orthopaedics, medical and oncology. In her free time she loves sport; you might see her running with her 2 young children on the Barwon River Track.
