Miss Katie Bakkara Physiotherapist

I have been working as a Physiotherapist for over 4 years now, graduating from the University of Worcester in 2018 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. Since qualifying, I have worked in various physiotherapy roles, particularly in the NHS, in various localities supporting patients in General Medical Rehabilitation, Stroke Rehabilitation and in the Community – within individual’s own homes. In the last year I moved away from working in the NHS and began my practise in a private clinic, which I have continued to support individuals to rehabilitate, restoring their health and mobility. My primary interest in Physiotherapy is in relation to the neurological aspect of rehabilitation particularly in Stroke. Other areas of interests of practise include muscular repair and strengthening, biomechanics & falls prevention. I am certified in sports massage and have recently acquired certification in Pilates, accredited by the Australian Associated Pilates Institute (AAPI). Outside of work, I do my best to participate in a range of activities to enable me to sustain my health, including running, weight training and cycling. I also enjoy spending time doing activities with my family, supporting my daughter with her school life, horse riding and rock climbing. I also, do a fair amount of gardening which I find very rewarding, along with my attempt in playing the piano.
