About us
Natalie Bennett-Bremner is the Director of Kidz Clinic Physiotherapy is. She is a Sports Physiotherapist with 25 years experience. Natalie spent the first 10 years of her career working as a Sports Physiotherapist working with people of all ages from "arm-chair" sportsmen to elite athletes. During this time she developed a keen interest in musculoskeletal disorders in children and adolescents.
Natalie established Kidz Clinic Physiotherapy in 2008 to focus on the management of infants, toddlers, children and teens with a wide range of musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders. Natalie has a special interest in hypermobility and correction of gait abnormalities.
In 2011 Natalie was awarded the ABC TV New Inventors Award for Medical Innovation for her design of a flexible therapeutic bracing garment, the Spiral Thigh Brace, which aims to reduce excessive internal rotation at the hip and thigh during gait. It is used for biofeedback in gait retraining in conditions such as knock knees / inturned gait, pigeon toes, tip toe walking and scissoring gait.
