SMART Concussion Clinic – Wyong.

I have been working in private practice as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for the past eighteen years. I have also had the privilege of working with various sporting teams at a local, national and international level. Over this time I have developed a special interest in assessing and managing complex musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, where multiple systems in the body are at play preventing that person from full recovery. The longer I have worked with the nervous system and functional neurology I became more interested in the assessment and management of concussion injuries and the challenge of returning those who have sustained that injury back to learning, back to work and back to sport!

I have been working in private practice as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for the past five years graduating from the University of Newcastle. I have experience working within the acute and rehabilitation setting with various sporting teams/athletes, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal and workplace injuries on the Central Coast. I am passionate about assessing and managing complex musculoskeletal and sporting injuries. Hence, I have developed an interest in concussion management and helping people return to their sport, work or everyday activities.
