About Kate Senini

Kate Senini is a seasoned physiotherapist with over two decades of experience in the field, having graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from LaTrobe University in 2002. Her career reflects a consistent commitment to professional growth and clinical excellence. She has undertaken specialised study in treating shoulder, elbow and hip injuries, alongside focused exploration of the complex science behind pain. Her education also includes dry needling, which she integrates into treatment plans where appropriate.

Kate’s expertise is supported by her time spent in research, with projects centred around the deep neck stability of rugby players and the management of rotator cuff deficient shoulders—both conducted while she was based in London. This period marked an important phase in her career, as she not only expanded her clinical capabilities but also contributed meaningfully to physiotherapy literature.

Services

Kate offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to physiotherapy, blending scientific knowledge with hands-on experience. Her services include:

• Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy: Treatment for a wide range of joint, muscle and bone-related conditions.

• Shoulder and Neck Rehabilitation: Targeted therapy for rotator cuff injuries, neck stability issues and postural concerns.

• Dry Needling: Applied as part of a broader pain management or rehabilitation strategy.

• Running and Cycling Injury Management: Specialist treatment for sports-related injuries, with emphasis on biomechanical assessment and correction.

• Postural Correction and Ergonomic Advice: Addressing the impact of daily habits and workstation setup on pain and injury.

• Biomechanical Assessments: Particularly focused on runners and cyclists, these evaluations help identify faulty movement patterns and prevent recurrence of injuries.

Kate’s unique experience managing a high-profile clinic in Harley Street, London—home to fourteen physiotherapists—has also enhanced her leadership and mentoring abilities, as well as her exposure to diverse clinical presentations.

Additional Information

While based in London for seven years, Kate developed a strong interest in the links between sport, movement and injury. Her exposure to a range of complex presentations, particularly among athletes and professionals, helped shape her patient-centred and evidence-based approach. During this time, her passion for treating running and cycling injuries flourished. She has continued to pursue education and upskilling in these specific areas, enabling her to deliver high-level care to active individuals looking to return to their sport with confidence.

Kate believes in addressing the root cause of injuries rather than just treating symptoms. Her treatments are grounded in biomechanical understanding, reinforced by years of experience and academic research. Whether you’re an elite athlete or someone experiencing daily discomfort, Kate brings both knowledge and a personal commitment to helping you move better and feel stronger.
