About
Katherine Butler
B.Ap(Sc)OT, AHT(BAHT), A.Mus.A(Flute)
I am a Clinical Specialist in Hand Therapy and have held several posts within the NHS and private hospitals in Australia and the UK. In 2006, I established my clinic with the aim of providing first class assessment and treatment of all hand and upper limb conditions.
Although I treat a wide variety of conditions, I have a particular interest in musicians’ injuries, hypermobility and task specific dystonia.
As a trained flautist myself, I have valuable insight into the life and pressures facing musicians and I enjoy combining my love of music with my clinical knowledge and have earned a strong reputation as a leading specialist in performing arts medicine.
I hold appointments at the University of Plymouth and University College London as an Associate Professor. I gained my Accredited Hand Therapist award in 2003 and in 2013 I was awarded the esteemed Natalie Barr Award by the British Association of Hand Therapist for my achievements in hand therapy.
In 2023 I was granted Practicing Privileges at Mayo Clinic Healthcare, and am honoured to be associated with The London Orthopaedic Clinic.
