Karen Ribeiro

Karen is a passionate and experienced physiotherapist with a strong background in sport and exercise science. She completed her Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney, following an undergraduate and integrated master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Bath in the UK. With a special interest in sporting injuries and movement mechanics, Karen takes an active, hands-on approach to treatment. She believes that many common injuries, whether from sport or everyday life, stem from muscle imbalances and inefficient movement patterns. Her focus is on restoring function, improving performance, and empowering patients through movement-based rehab. As a football player who has personally gone through an ACL rupture and long rehabilitation, Karen understands firsthand the physical and mental challenges of injury recovery. That experience drives her passion for designing rehabilitation plans that are not only effective, but also realistic, individualised, and sustainable for each patient. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or just looking to move more efficiently, Karen is here to help you return to doing what you love, safely and confidently.
