This practice predominantly sees children and adolescents with hypermobility disorders, motor delays and coordination issues, abnormal walking and running styles, musculoskeletal conditions and sporting injuries. Natalie is also Director of Spiral Skins which designs flexible dynamic bracing garments for gait and postural abnormalities associated with hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, and some neurological conditions.
In 2011 Natalie won the ABC New Inventors Award for Medical Innovation for the Spiral Thigh Brace.
