Hi, I’m Katherine Pierce
I have worked in musculoskeletal physiotherapy for over 25 years, including eight years in the UK. One of my roles there was at Portland Physiotherapy, which specialised in treating knees, sparking my lifelong passion for rehabilitating knee injuries.
This interest further evolved during my time at Physioworks in the UK, where I focused heavily on movement dysfunction analysis to help prevent recurrences. I completed a full-time postgraduate year at Otago University in 1997 and earned my Masters in Physiotherapy in 2003. I joined the team at You First Physio in 2000 and became a partner in 2001.
