About Me

Highly Experienced Physiotherapist

Kate Whitaker, Chartered Physiotherapist, Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered. Member of professional networks AGILE and ACPIN of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. 

I have over 27 years experience as a physiotherapist. Much of that time was as a senior physio in an NHS community physiotherapy team. I have gained extensive experience working with people with a wide range of medical or long term conditions.

Specialist areas include:

  • Physio to reduce people’s risk of falling
  • Mobility problems
  • Elderly care
  • Hip, knee or other orthopaedic surgery recovery
  • Recovery from general surgery
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis (OA)
  • Osteoporosis
  • End of life /palliative care
  • Dementia
  • Parkinson’s
  • Stroke

I started my career in a district general hospital as a junior physio, gaining experience across:

  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • General surgery
  • Neurology
  • Respiratory medicine and ICU
  • Musculoskeletal out-patients
  • Elderly care
  • Cardiac rehabilitation. 

For the next step in my career I took a physiotherapy role specialising in:

  • Orthopaedic surgery 
  • General medical surgery
  • Palliative/end of life care 
  • Musculoskeletal out-patients

The above was in the Circle Health Group*, a private hospital group  (*formerly BMI Healthcare).  

On moving back to the NHS, I took senior physiotherapist positions specialising in:

  • Adult neurological rehabilitation
  • Paediatric physiotherapy

I returned to work with adults in the community, as referenced above.

Since 2022, I have worked independently as a private community physiotherapist, initially in Hertfordshire and now in Norfolk after re locating with my family. As a private physiotherapist, I have been able to provide timely, more flexible care to patients, for as long as is needed.
