MEET THE TEAM

---

Ellen qualified as a Human Physiotherapist in 2016 and has since gained extensive experience across a wide range of clinical settings. During her time within the NHS, Ellen worked with patients on orthopaedic wards, respiratory teams and complex neurological services, developing a strong foundation in rehabilitation and evidence-based care.

Following her NHS career, Ellen moved into private musculoskeletal physiotherapy, where she treated a variety of conditions including ACL injuries, ankle sprains, neck and back pain, and sporting injuries. She developed a particular interest in supporting patients with complex and chronic pain conditions, focusing on improving function and quality of life.

Driven by her passion for rehabilitation and animal care, Ellen went on to complete a postgraduate Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy. Since qualifying as a veterinary physiotherapist, she has treated dogs and cats throughout the Bristol and Bath area, working both in busy clinical environments and through home visits.

Ellen has also shared her expertise by delivering continuing professional development (CPD) sessions to veterinary surgeons, helping to improve understanding of the role physiotherapy can play in supporting animal health and recovery.

In 2024, Ellen founded All Seasons Animal Rehab with the aim of providing high-quality, evidence-based rehabilitation for dogs and cats across Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas. Her vision was to create a place where pets and their owners could access comprehensive rehabilitation support under one roof.

Ellen has a special interest in working with anxious dogs and complex rehabilitation cases. She has extensive experience supporting patients recovering from surgery, managing lameness, and helping animals return to comfortable, functional movement.

Outside of work, Ellen is the owner of two energetic rescue spaniels, Luna and Guinness. Both dogs have experienced joint issues, giving Ellen a personal understanding of the challenges owners face when managing injury, rehabilitation and the difficult task of keeping active dogs calm during recovery.

Katie began her canine career working in kennels specialising in police dogs, where she discovered her passion for understanding, training and supporting dogs. This experience inspired her to pursue a career in canine rehabilitation, leading her to complete her canine hydrotherapy training.

Katie has worked as a canine hydrotherapist since 2020 in a busy rehabilitation clinic, gaining extensive experience supporting dogs with a wide range of conditions. She joined All Seasons Animal Rehab when it opened and has played an important role in developing the clinic and its excellent reputation for providing compassionate, high-quality care.

Katie has particular experience in supporting post-operative recovery and complex neurological cases. She has a great understanding of how to safely progress rehabilitation, recognising when a dog is ready for increased challenge and when a session needs to be adapted or a review requested with the physiotherapist or veterinary team.

With her calm and patient approach, Katie is confident handling a wide variety of dogs, from energetic and excitable patients to nervous, anxious and reactive dogs. Her ability to build trust means many dogs quickly learn to enjoy their hydrotherapy sessions.

Outside of work, Katie is kept busy by her own dogs. She owns Beta, an ex-police dog, and has recently rescued Stan, a senior poodle. You will likely spot pictures of their adventures on our social media pages!

Kat is a Chartered ACPAT Physiotherapist who qualified as a Human Physiotherapist from the University of Liverpool in 2018. Since qualifying, she has gained a broad range of clinical experience within the NHS and internationally while working in New Zealand, before returning to complete her postgraduate training in Veterinary Physiotherapy in Liverpool in 2025.

Kat currently works as a Specialist Orthopaedic Physiotherapist within the NHS alongside her role at All Seasons Animal Rehab, bringing valuable experience in complex orthopaedic rehabilitation and evidence-based practice.

With her up-to-date knowledge of the latest research in veterinary physiotherapy, Kat provides a fresh perspective to the team. Her calm and relaxed approach helps dogs feel comfortable during their sessions, allowing them to build confidence and get the most out of their rehabilitation. Her genuine love and care for animals is clear in the way she works with every patient.

Outside of work, Kat enjoys pushing her own limits through endurance sports, including Ironman events and marathons. Her extensive knowledge of sports performance, conditioning and recovery provides valuable insight when supporting active dogs and those working towards returning to their best.
