Miss Katie Clare Porra is a physiotherapist based in Phillip, in Canberra (ACT). She works from Suite 1 Level 1, 90 Corinna Street, Phillip ACT 2606.
Katie helps people who are dealing with aches, pain, stiffness, and trouble moving the way they want. That can include everyday problems like sore backs and tight hips, plus issues that show up after work, sport, or an injury. At times, the main goal is to get you moving more comfortably, and to help you feel steadier in your day to day life.
Her sessions are practical and usually start with a proper look at what’s going on. You can expect her to focus on how your body is moving, what feels tight or sore, and what might be causing the problem. From there, she works with you to put together a plan that fits your routine, your goals, and how your body is responding.
Physical therapy sessions are at the centre of her work. She also builds exercise programs to help improve strength, control, and range of motion. Stretching routines can be part of the plan too, especially when stiffness is getting in the way. If joints are feeling stuck or moving the wrong way, she may use joint mobilization techniques to help calm things down and support better movement.
Over time, Katie has developed experience in helping people manage pain and build confidence with movement. The idea isn’t just to “fix it and send you away”. In many cases, it’s about giving you a clear path forward so you know what to do between visits.
Her training is in physiotherapy, with a focus on movement, rehabilitation, and helping the body work better. She uses that knowledge to guide hands-on care and practical home exercises.
If you’re not sure whether physiotherapy is the right step, it’s still worth coming in. Katie can talk through your main concerns, explain what she thinks is happening, and help you decide on the next move.
