Caitlin McPhee

As Integrative Physiotherapist, Caitlin McPhee focuses on helping people with complex, multi‑system health conditions by starting with a thorough understanding of their health story and current challenges. Caitlin coordinates the first stage of care for many new patients, working with them and the Biio team to create an individualised plan that addresses their most important needs.

Clinical Assessments

Caitlin carries out structured, evidence‑informed assessments that give a clear picture of your health and guide the next steps in care. These include:

• Biio.markers Assessments – In‑depth first appointments for new patients to gather your complete health history and identify priorities.
• hEDS Diagnostic Criteria Assessments – Using internationally recognised criteria to assess for hypermobile Ehlers‑Danlos syndrome.
• POTS Assessment Protocols – Following Biio’s team‑based process for assessing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
• Women’s Pelvic Health Assessments – Using recognised tools and a sensitive approach to explore pelvic health concerns.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Caitlin has additional expertise in vagus nerve stimulation techniques, which may support autonomic regulation as part of a broader treatment plan. In practice, this can include:

• Guided Exercises and Breathing Practices – Simple, structured techniques that may be used at home to stimulate the vagus nerve through movement, breath, and positional strategies.
• Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) – A device‑based approach that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin in specific areas, applied in line with current evidence and individual suitability.

Physiotherapy Approach

Caitlin’s physiotherapy plans may combine movement‑based therapy, education, and aspects of lifestyle medicine. Together with the patient, she considers areas such as sleep patterns, stress levels, nutrition, and daily activities to help support function and build self‑management skills. Plans are developed using current evidence and adapted to each person’s health needs.

Coordinated Care

Many of Caitlin’s patients have more than one interacting condition. She works closely with Biio’s multidisciplinary team to make sure care is connected and guided by shared information, so that each practitioner’s input contributes to the overall plan.

Pelvic Physiotherapy

Caitlin has further training in pelvic health and sees patients with a range of presentations such as pelvic floor dysfunction, pain syndromes, and other female pelvic health concerns. Assessment and treatment approaches follow recognised guidelines and are adapted to your goals and comfort.

How She Works With You

For many new patients, Caitlin is the first clinician they see at Biio. She aims to create a space where you can share your full health story without being rushed, so that complex symptoms and patterns can be understood. Her goal is to clearly explain the assessment process, outline the initial plan, and connect you with the right members of the Biio team for your needs.
