Dr Kathryn May
BSc (Clin Sc) MHSc (Osteo)
Kathryn graduated from Victoria University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy). Prior to this, she completed a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in dance, in 2011. Kathryn has been dancing most of her life and has a great passion for the human body and movement; it was this passion that led her to osteopathy.
Kathryn enjoys and has experience in treating a wide range of people and conditions, from headaches and TMJ pain, to hip and back pain, and everything in between. She has a particular interest in treating dancers, musicians and performing artists, and addressing the unique physical demands these activities place on the body. Through extra training in this area, she has also developed a strong interest in treating complex foot and ankle issues, and provides pre-pointe assessments.
With a focus on creating a safe and supportive environment, Kathryn has undergone specialised training in transgender and gender diverse healthcare to ensure that the unique needs of TGD individuals are met with respect and understanding. Kathryn has strong ties to the LGBTQIA+ community and is passionate about advocating for equal access to healthcare. She strives to empower each patient by honouring their identity and fostering a culture of acceptance and care.
Kathryn’s treatment style utilises a combination of hands-on techniques as well as rehabilitative exercises and advice, with dry needling or other modalities as required. All techniques used are patient-centred and tailored to an individual’s needs/preferences.
