Movement. Empowered.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
My mission is to help you feel better, move better, and get back to doing what you love. My musculoskeletal physiotherapy service begins with a comprehensive, one on one assessment to understand your injury, your goals and the way your body moves.
From there, I create a tailored, evidence-based treatment plan designed to restore your mobility, improve strength and prevent future injury. This may include hands-on-therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and practical strategies to support your recovery. Whether you’re dealing with everyday aches or a more complex condition, I’m committed to guiding you every step of the way.
Speciality interests:
Orthopaedic post-surgical recovery
Adolescent injuries
Bone health, menopause, health ageing
Knee, foot and ankle injuries
Running and swimming-related injuries
Exercise Rehabilitation
By supporting you to restore mobility, strength and confidence following pain or injury, supervised exercise rehabilitation is the cornerstone to ensuring a full recovery. With an onsite boutique gym setup, you can ensure a personalised and uninterrupted session.
Specialising in post-surgical recovery, bone health & healthy ageing, sport-specific rehabilitation, return to performance and general strength and fitness, your program is progressed according to your milestones and goals.
Register your interest in group exercise classes, including Pilates, Bones & Balance and Strength and Conditioning.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, or Aquatic Physiotherapy, is clinically guided exercise performed in warm water that uses the natural properties of water to reduce joint load, ease pain and improve mobility. It is often used in conjunction with land-based rehabilitation and can be useful in the early stages of injury rehabilitation to provide graded load bearing and strengthening. Hydrotherapy is also beneficial for cardiovascular fitness and long-term chronic condition management.
Beneficial effects include:
Increased exercise capacity and fitness
Pain management
Enhanced core stability and trunk strength
Maintenance of joint range
Increased muscle strength & function
Progressive weight-bearing
Gait re-education & early rehabilitation
Increased wellbeing and mental resilience
Conditions / injuries it can help:
Orthopaedic rehabilitation
Chronic conditions
Neurological
Stroke survivors
ADHD
Osteoporosis & Joint disease
Sporting injuries / stress fractures
Upper limb rehabilitation
Multi-trauma (ie. MVA, workplace injuries)
My goal is to empower individuals to move with confidence, independence and comfort. An initial clinic consult is required prior to starting Hydrotherapy to collect medical history, baseline function, goals, and to create an individual exercise program. All sessions are 1:1 and conducted in a relaxing warm water pool with ramp / stair access.
Youth Athletic Development
Children and adolescents should not be viewed as small adults regarding musculoskeletal injuries. The increase in high-level youth athletes highlights the need for a proactive strategy for injury prevention and management. Factors such as biological, physical, and psychological age, growth and maturation rates, training and competition schedules, specialization, sporting ambitions, recovery, and external stressors must be taken into account. Effective management typically involves collaboration among family members, technical coaches, strength coaches, schools, and sports clubs.
Youth athletes are a special interest area, and I have extensive experience with this group across various sports and environments. I provide sport-specific screenings and develop strength and conditioning programs with a preventative approach in mind. The well-being and health of youth athletes remain a priority, and promoting foundational movement skills, self-management, and lifelong engagement in sport is essential.
I have established a strong network of Sports Physicians, Nutritionists and Psychologists to facilitate referrals and maintain a comprehensive management strategy, offering expert advice and support from the initial injury through to recovery and performance resumption.
Swim Technique Correction
Just getting back into the pool after a break, or looking to be more efficient in the water? I offer 1:1 private swim technique correction and instruction for people from beginner level to advanced. What started as a part-time job whilst studying at university has turned into a lifelong passion for swim coaching. I combine nearly 20 years of experience with patience, attention to detail and commitment to results.
Whether you are looking to get fit for summer, taking up a new hobby or chasing that triathlon PB, I can help you get the most out of your training.
Running Assessments
New to running or looking for that edge in competition? A running assessment incorporates a comprehensive review of your training and injury history, running goal planning, musculoskeletal screening, treadmill running assessment and analysis of running gait. This guides the creation of an individualised management plan with biomechanical interventions and injury risk reduction strategies. Additional interventions, such as referral to other allied health practitioners/ specialists, strength programming and training load planning may also be discussed.
Sport-specific Screenings
Ready to take your training to the next level, looking for that performance edge, or just wanting to stay injury-free? A sport-specific screening is a comprehensive assessment which combines your training and injury history, competition level and goals with sport-specific measures, such as joint range of motion, muscle strength and power and functional movements. This provides an excellent picture of your current physical status to guide the development of an individual program to improve on any identified imbalances or further enhance physical qualities.
Sport-specific screenings are available across a range of sports including Swimming, Dance (pre-pointe assessments), Football, Rowing and field sports. The objective is to develop highly competent, robust and resilient athletes.
Clinical Pilates
Evidence-based, therapeutic exercise with personalised programs based on your injury history, goals and current capacity. Blending mat-based and equipment-based exercises to help you build strength, control and confidence with movement. Individual attention and periodic reviews to ensure that the exercises continue to challenge and support you appropriately.
Clinical Pilates can be particularly beneficial for those managing:
Chronic low back pain or spinal conditions
Neck pain, postural issues, or upper limb conditions
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Osteoporosis or osteopenia
Sports injury rehabilitation or stress fractures
Pregnancy and post-natal recovery
General deconditioning or a desire to move better
