Staff

Kristen McKerihan
B.App.Sc (Physiotherapy)
Physiotherapist, APAM

Graduating from the University of Sydney in 1998, Kristen has over 15 years of physiotherapy experience across a broad spectrum of medical services.

Working in the public hospital system at St George Hospital, Kogarah, Kristen worked with patients in acute post operative and rehabilitation units including orthopedics, ICU and neuro.

Following a year working in England in a fast paced outpatients environment, Kristen returned to Sydney and spent three years at St Mary’s Group West Rehab Centre. Working extensively with people in a gym setting and specialising in workers compensation cases, Kristen focused on prescribing and implementing detailed rehabilitation programs to assist recovery from both acute and chronic injuries, as well as post operative procedures.

For the last 11 years Kristen has worked in a specialist Physiotherapy and Sports Injury clinic  in Lane Cove. Working with patients of all ages to diagnose and manage their sports or work/posture related injuries as well as those recovering from surgery, Kristen focused on providing the most effective treatment for each condition.

As the owner of Arthur Street Physiotherapy, Kristen is a firm believer in treatment that is specifically tailored to the person experiencing the symptoms – no recipes, no bandaid solutions.

Working hard to understand an individuals’ presenting complaints, identifying why these symptoms may have developed and working through how to prevent the symptoms returning is fundamental to her treatment of all patients – with the ultimate goal of restoring function and for patients to be able to better perform normal activities of living whilst preventing recurrences.

Kristen’s very strong manual therapy base for treatment is used to address the presenting symptoms and is combined with exercises and client education.

Continuing to keep abreast of the latest training methods and research, Kristen has most recently trained in the Integrated Systems Model, the Sarah Key Method, the Mulligan Concept, Dry Needling Plus as well as extensive further education in core stability and functional rehabilitation.
