Catherine gave McTimoney treatments in her own successful clinic in West Lancashire, UK from 1989-2003 and now works from the Social Services Centre, 19 Buffalo Beach Road, Whitianga, New Zealand, phone 07-866 4476.

Catherine is working here as a McTimoney Holistic Therapist. There are currently five other qualified McTimoney Therapists practising in this country to my knowledge. They work in Christchurch, Hawkes Bay, Wanganui and Wellington. (Samantha Ostle, Terry & Tanja Murphy, Fenella Grigsby and Paul Maunsell). Catherine set up in Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsular in February 2004.

The McTimoney treatment is a gentle whole body treatment which is very effective in aligning the whole skeletal structure. Patients present with a variety of conditions ranging from back and neck pain, shoulder pain, elbow, knee and other peripheral joints hurting, headaches, injuries from road traffic accidents or sporting events and many other conditions.

The treatment is so gentle that the current age range of patients is from three weeks to ninety two years. The technique is very easily adapted to the type and condition of the body being treated.

X-rays are not generally used as practitioners are highly trained in the use of their hands to palpate the skeletal structure. If the practitioner feels that there may be an underlying condition requiring X-ray or MRI examination it is normal to refer to the radiography department in a local hospital.
