Meet Cate Devereux


Cate recently completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Notre Dame University, where she gained diverse experience across hospital and private practice settings. Her academic journey has fostered a particular interest in sports-related injuries and neurological rehabilitation. During her studies, she completed coursework in acute sports injury management and placements where she worked primarily with neurological conditions.

Cate has worked rurally in the Pilbara where she honed her skills treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from elbows to ankles and spines in between. This experience broadened her clinical expertise and adaptability, especially in managing acute sporting injuries with limited resources.

With over four years of experience as a club physiotherapist for local sporting teams, Cate has developed extensive knowledge in managing acute injuries related to netball, football, and rugby. She has become particularly adept at diagnosing and treating common sports injuries including sprains, strains, and overuse conditions. Her knowledge extends to implementing comprehensive rehabilitation programs for athletes recovering from ACL reconstructions, shoulder dislocations, and ankle injuries.

Her personal involvement in netball and volleyball not only fuels her passion for sports but also provides firsthand insight into athletic injuries. This practical experience has enhanced her understanding of sport-specific biomechanics and injury prevention strategies. Cate is able to conduct pre-season screening assessments to identify potential injury risks and develops targeted prevention programs for athletes. She also believes strongly in “pre-habilitation” following any injury requiring surgical intervention to improve outcomes for her patients.

Cate’s approach to physiotherapy is rooted in empathy and holistic care. She believes in treating the individual rather than just their symptoms, taking the time to understand each patient’s unique health journey. Her goal is to help patients return to doing what they love, using the latest evidence-based care.
