Introduction to KT Physiotherapy and Sports Massage

I’m Katy, I’ve been qualified as a physiotherapist since 2013 after qualifying from the university of Bradford with a first class honours degree. I also qualified just after finishing university in sports massage level 3.

Since then I have worked for the NHS full time in a variety of different specialties including MSK, respiratory, neurology, palliative care and long covid within the hospital and the community.
I’m currently a clinical specialist physiotherapist in frailty and I also work on the orthopaedic weekend rota.
I’m in my first year of a MSc in advanced clinical practice.
I have a lot of experience of working in elite sport with SWFC academy, Yorkshire league 1 rugby union and the Yorkshire netball and Leeds Rhinos pathway.
My career highlight is covering a rugby match at Twickenham!

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment don’t hesitate to contact me on this page. I aim to respond within a few hours.
