About me:

Katy is a specialist women’s and pelvic health physiotherapist who is passionate about providing expert treatment for women of all life stages from pre-pregnancy to menopause and beyond. Katy is experienced in treating women with a wide-range of pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, urgency, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse and persistent pelvic pain as well as supporting women through their child-bearing years by treating and preventing pregnancy-related musculoskeletal conditions including back pain and pelvic girdle pain as well as delivering postpartum or post-operative rehabilitation including abdominal rehabilitation. Katy is also experienced in using therapeutic ultrasound to treat clogged ducts and mastitis. 

Katy is originally from the UK having graduated from King’s College London with a first-class degree in Physiotherapy. She has since gained extensive experience working within women’s health at some of London’s leading teaching hospitals, most recently in the Urogynaecology team at University College London Hospital. She also enjoyed working privately in clinics in Southwest London, Harley Street and the Portland Hospital for Women and Children before moving to Hong Kong in 2021! 

Outside of physio, Katy is a keen runner, hiker and Pilates lover and is currently enjoying training for her first trail ultramarathon although she is still adjusting to the Hong Kong climate!  When not at Evolve she can usually be found exploring Hong Kong’s trails and beaches.
