Kate Caetano
Rehabilitation Podiatrist
And Running Coach
Hamilton East Clinic
Kate has a passion for helping people getting back to doing what they love through her holistic approach to Podiatry. This involves going beyond the symptoms, looking at all the moving parts of the body, identifying areas of disconnection and treating the root cause(s). Kate’s goal is to improve your quality of life – through healing, rehab and support – so you can perform at your best.
Kate has a special interest in bio-mechanics and running. She works with many athletes in the Waikato to improve their running efficiency and performance.
Kate graduated with her Bachelor of Health Science in Podiatry in 2012. She then went on to complete her Postgraduate Diploma in Rehabilitation, and Master of Health, Sport and Human Performance, while practicing as a podiatrist.
