Physiotherapy for pain and injury recovery in the Illawarra
I work with pain, injury and movement difficulties, helping you build the capacity for everyday life, work and sport. My approach combines musculoskeletal physiotherapy, exercise rehabilitation and a nervous-system-informed lens, guided by your assessment.
I see private, NDIS, WorkCover NSW, CTP and Medicare patients in clinic at Dapto and Unanderra.
What can physiotherapy help with?
Back and neck pain
Sports and training injuries
Muscle, tendon and joint problems, including shoulder, hip, knee and ankle presentations
Post-operative rehabilitation
Persistent or recurring pain and movement limitations
Neurological and complex presentations, where physiotherapy is appropriate to your needs
I assess your symptoms, relevant history, movement and physical capacity, then work with you on a practical plan. If your presentation needs another service or further investigation, I discuss the next step with you.
Treatment guided by assessment
Your plan may include exercise rehabilitation, progressive strength and conditioning, manual therapy, dry needling or movement rehabilitation. Where relevant, I also consider sensitivity, body awareness, pacing and recovery alongside physical rehabilitation.
These are options, not a checklist. I explain why a treatment may be useful, discuss your preferences and review your response. See how I work with The PRIME Method →
Tools and further training
My additional training informs the options I can draw on when they are appropriate to your assessment and goals:
Dry Needling — Level 1 & Level 2
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation
Mental Health Physiotherapy — Level 1
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain
Cupping Therapy
Kinesio Taping
Kinetic Link Training — Level 1: Functional Strength and Conditioning
SFMA — Level 1
Hands-on techniques and other tools may support symptom management or movement as part of a broader rehabilitation plan. They are selected for your needs and preferences.
Independent care
I don’t work to visit quotas. Follow-up recommendations have a clear clinical purpose and are guided by your needs, progress and goals.
