Lisa’s journey into physiotherapy began with a personal experience—a timely intervention that resolved her own back pain just in time for a national diving competition. Inspired by this transformative moment, Lisa pursued her passion, graduating from Notre Dame University with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2006 and then immediately immersing herself in private practice.
In 2011, Lisa embarked on a global adventure, settling in London where she honed her skills in functional rehabilitation. Focusing on understanding the intricate relationship between injury, movement patterns, and joint/muscle loading, Lisa enhanced her expertise. Additional training in running rehabilitation enabled her to fine-tune techniques for individuals ranging from beginners to ultra-marathon runners.
Lisa returned to Perth in 2014 to partner with Graeme and Amanda in building a clinic centred on the seamless integration of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation for optimal patient care.
With a focus on empowering her clients, Lisa delved deeper into her field, obtaining a Graduate Certificate in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and a Masters in Sports Physiotherapy from La Trobe University in 2019.
Joining the medical team at West Coast Fever in 2021 as a Sports Physiotherapist marked another milestone in Lisa’s career, culminating in a championship win in the 2022 Suncorp Super Netball season. Lisa has provided physiotherapy services for the Australian Men’s and Women’s Hockey programs through the last 2 Olympic cycles, working weekly with these athletes for pilates rehabilitation and providing locum physiotherapy services when required.
As a qualified pilates instructor, Lisa works as an educator for Unite Health, providing training for allied health professionals in the delivery of Pilates as a form of rehabilitation.
Lisa’s zest for motion extends beyond her professional pursuits—whether running, hitting the gym or pilates, a game of floorball, or wrangling her two young daughters, she embraces an active lifestyle. Notably, she achieved a personal milestone by completing the New York Marathon in 2015 & teamed up for the Port to Pub in 2024. Trust Lisa to guide you towards restoring normal and functional movement, empowering you to lead a life in motion.
