Huge News - Meet our new Physiotherapist and Ironman enthusiast Kathryn Krosch!!

We are stoked to add to our team another talented physiotherapist and bike fitter who ‘walks the walk and talks the talk’. Kathryn has worked inside multi-sport as a physiotherapist and also races and coaches triathlon as well. Kathryn completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Australian Catholic University in 2017 before starting her career in sport physiotherapy on the Northside. After a few years, Kathryn took on a new role as the rehabilitation physiotherapist for the Queensland Reds Super Rugby team in 2022. Working in this high performance environment was both a challenging and valuable experience. Treating professional athletes sharpened her sports focus and performing injury management work within this group was especially rewarding.

Kathryn has completed further education in Women’s health, and also specialises in running and cycling biomechanics for optimal performance and injury prevention. After completing the Science of Cycling Physiotherapy bike fit course, Kathryn regularly performs bikefit services for her athletes and clients, targeted towards any musculoskeletal imbalances or injuries. 

While working as a Physiotherapist, Kathryn has also competed as an elite age group triathlete where her achievements include racing at the Ironman World Championships in 2018 and ITU Olympic distance age group world Championships in Mexico, 2015. She has achieved International and Australian podium finishes in Ironman Cairns, Ironman Bussleton, 70.3 Liuzhou, and has begun racing and podiuming in Women’s Elite and open races. She is also a triathlon coach, working with beginner and elite triathletes, and understands the musculoskeletal requirements for endurance performance.

We are thrilled to get another talented practitioner who also works hard within their chosen sport. It is always difficult getting practitioners who work and live in their chosen specialities and Kathryn certainly loves the culture of multi-sport and working on athletes in this space.

Give us a call or go online to make a time for Kathryn to work with you.
