Whether you’re seeking relief, recovering from an injury, or striving to enhance your mobility and strength, our team is here to help you achieve your goals. About Courtney: “My favourite part of being a physiotherapist is being able to help people live a better, healthier, pain-free life. I love working with a variety of patients to help achieve their individual goals. I have treated newborn infants right through to the elderly and across the entire journey from day one to full rehabilitation. My experience as physiotherapist in both private practice and acute hospital settings, has allowed me to spend much of my time assisting patients in their recovery from sporting injuries and orthopaedic surgery. Having worked extensively with some of Perth’s best orthopaedic surgeons, I am extremely well versed in pre and post-operative rehabilitation, and love providing solutions that can improve your pain and function without the need for surgery. Having worked with WAFL and amateur football clubs, I enjoy empowering both professional athletes and weekend warriors to take an active role in their rehabilitation. I also have a special interest in the treatment of neck pain and cervicogenic headaches; having personally experienced this I understand how debilitating it can be and how much physiotherapy can improve your symptoms and long-term recovery. Pilates and regular strength training became my norm to manage these symptoms and I hope to help others with similar issues. I thoroughly enjoy working with women and adolescents with a variety of conditions; and have a special interest in treating hypermobility syndromes that stems from my own history in dancing and gymnastics. I’m a strong believer that you can always do something; there is always an exercise or way you can move that can improve your pain and it’s my role to help you find it!
