Kate is not only a brilliant hand expert who helped me out with a very complex, rare genetic issue that others have struggled with, but also an absolute pleasure to work with who took a genuine interest in me and really cared about helping me through a tough time.
Thanks Kate!

Kate treated my 10 year old daughter‘s hand injury. My daughter was quite anxious about the visit given she was in pain, but Kate put her at ease, quickly made a splint for her and booked us in for a treatment when her hand had time to relax a little more.
My daughter looked forward to the second treatment and didn‘t need anything further and is back to full functionality and movement. I highly recommend Kate if you need hand rehab in Melbourne

Not only is Kate highly skilled and meticulous in her practice, but she's also incredibly kind, patient, and super caring.
During my initial consultation, Kate accurately identified the root of my wrist injury and wasted no time in getting me on a treatment plan tailored to my needs. After just one session, I felt an immediate relief from the pain. I can’t recommend Kate enough, her expertise and integrity are deserving of the trust of anyone in Melbourne in need of hand therapy.

I've been seeing Kate for over a year now for a serious workplace injury to my elbow, she is the most amazing professional I've ever been to. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone. I look forward to my appointments with her.

Chantelle- After injuring my tendon at work I was referred to Kate by the hospital for weekly appointments. At first I was nervous going in as I knew that an appointment meant I would need to bend my finger which hurt a lot at the time, however, I felt so calm and relaxed with Kate! She is very kind and gentle, she’s really turned this daunting experience into such a pleasant one!
The past 3 months I’ve been enjoying coming in and seeing my progress each week and I will miss our visits! Definitely recommend 110% 🙌
