Becoming a Physio is something I always saw in my future from a very young age. Growing up I was a competitive gymnast with an unfortunate clumsy and injury prone nature. I was consistently sidelined from injury and was a frequent flyer in the Physio clinic. I was fortunate enough to be looked after by amazing practitioners who inspired me to one day do the same for others. My goal as a practitioner is to collaborate with patients to return them to whatever type of movement is important to them - whether that is elite sport or daily activities. I aim to build self-efficacy in my patients so they leave my care feeling empowered to manage pain flare-ups and return to activities with confidence. With a background in Sport and Exercise Science, I am particularly passionate about utilising strength and conditioning to rehabilitate and prevent injury. I also have a special interest in treating kids/youth sporting injuries across a range of sports and activities.
