Ripple Physio & Pilates

If I had one word for Cate it would be amazing! I began seeing Cate at 26 weeks pregnant after multiple recommendations from friends, and found her to be friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped with my 'pregnancy aches' but also supported me in preparing for labour. I have recommended Ripple Physio to all of my pregnant friends!

Ripples is awesome for Physio and Pilates. My whole body and mind feels soothed and peaceful after I have visited Cate for a Physio treatment, or completed a Pilates class. My bodies journey has been strengthened, and my aches always fixed after a visit to Cate. I had suffered for many years with what I thought was back ache. Cate correctly diagnosed a hip issue which lead to a hip replacement. My life is changed ! Thanks to Cate and team at ripples I have never felt better.

Catherine is a true professional. When I attend Pilates classes I feel I have the opportunity to exercise and be challenged while being well supervised. The results allow me to move more freely and remain strong. I love attending always with a good group of classmates.

I’ve seen both Kate and Catherine and both are so knowledgeable, helpful and lovely. I’ve always felt comfortable with them and they empowered me when preparing for birth.

Catherine is an amazing physiotherapist who was always attentive and proactive in managing my personal recovery and strengthening. I would highly recommend Ripple to all of my friends and family, especially women who are looking for support that can be tailored to you. Thank you Catherine for you services and I hope to come back again in the future!

I went to another Women's Physio for pregnancy in the Hills with concerns for my tight pelvic floor and hip pain, and their solution was basically to stop drinking so much water... not happy with their solution, I tried Ripple's and I'm so, so thankful I did. Cate took a diagnostic approach and considered my whole history before examining me and was able to find solutions within the one session that improved my life automatically. I've been going back regularly to minimise the pain as I get bigger and I feel so supported and prepared to try to aim towards my birth plan and post-birth recovery. Thank you! <3

I have seen both Catherine McKelvey and Kate Niccol and can highly recommend both of them.They were extremely informative, helpful, patient, discreet and absolutely lovely to talk and explained everything in detail.I never felt rushed and my health has improved because of both of these lovely women :)

After a motorbike accident in the bush and a broken collar bone and shoulder injury, she researched how I needed to use my shoulders and arms for the riding I do and then made a program to get my arms and shoulder strength fit for the sport I do. The respect for her that I gained through the rehab process was put to the test, when I was going to sneak out for a ride, she said you are not ready yet Matt" and I listened to her and I am grateful that I didn't sneak out to ride as when I went back to riding I wasn't having to overcome a movement/strength issue which could have meant a repeated accident/injury.The process involved physio as well as Pilates with Cate and Raya. Both of these ladies helped in rebuilding the strength in my arms and body. I recommend the Pilates mat classes to anyone wanting to build flexibility as well as core strength which helps in many facets of our lives. One of the keys with this is restriction in movement or lack of strength was noted in class for the next physio session.Thank you

Catherine has been an integral part of my prenatal and postnatal journey! She gave me confidence during my pregnancy to birth my baby and has given me the ability to live properly postpartum despite various women’s health issues affecting my day to day. The Ripple team are the first health provider I recommend when speaking to any new mums. Not only are they a wealth of knowledge but so supportive and compassionate. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to help me through this life phase.Catherine has been an integral part of my prenatal and postnatal journey!

Since having my lower back surgery just over a year ago I have been having regular physio appointments with Catherine and have found her to be an abundance of knowledge. Catherine always asks what my main concerns are, listens very well to what I am trying to explain to her and then considers what treatment is then best suited to help with my healing and to make me stronger. I have found that the dry needling method works well for me as also does the other general physio techniques used to get to the main source of my problems. I highly recommend Catherine and Ripples Pilates for her physio expertise and commitment to providing a very professional service.“Ripple Physio & Pilates is a very professional business and every visit that I go for my physio appointments I am greeted with positive attitude and a feeling of being cared for with the utmost trust and confidence from very experienced and knowledgeable staff member/business owner Catherine. I always leave my appointment feeling relaxed and confident that I can continue living my life to the best that I can. Thankyou Ripple Physio & Pilates for always looking after my needs, I highly recommend this business to anyone needing care with compassion and and all your problems taken into consideration.”
