Catherine (Kate) Kennedy

Kate (she/her) completed her in BSc in Physiotherapy in 1990 from Queen's University. She moved west as soon as she graduated, working in a few clinics in the Lower Mainland and is excited to be part of the great team at Main Street Physiotherapy. She has been working in orthopaedics for over 30 years, and she has a special interest in manual therapy, exercise, cancer care, and breast and peri-natal health (for all bodies and genders). Her approach to treatment focuses on appropriate movement and movement control, patient education and empowerment, and an acknowledgment of each client as a unique individual. Kate completed her Advanced Certification in Manual and Manipulative Therapy (FCAMT) in 1996 and has been teaching manual therapy at UBC's School of Physical Therapy and through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's Orthopaedic Division since then. When not working or teaching, Kate spends her time gardening, walking, reading, practicing yoga, and exploring near and far.
