Since qualifying Kate has completed The McKenzie Institute International's Diploma, which identifies the highest level of clinical excellence in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy. Although this method enjoys an excellent reputation internationally and scientifically, Kate is one of very few clinicians in the UK to hold this qualification.
