Background

Tayla is a physiotherapist with a strong sporting background and a genuine passion for helping people return to movement with confidence. Having played lacrosse from a young age, she developed an appreciation for injury prevention, performance and rehabilitation process.

After sustaining an ACL injury, Tayla gained first-hand insight into both the physical and emotional challenges of injury and recovery. This experience shaped her interest in injury management and evidence-based rehabilitation and allows her to bring a high level of empathy and understanding to clients navigating their own rehabilitation journeys.

Tayla’s approach is supportive and patient centred. She takes the time to understand each individual’s goals and work collaboratively to create structured and individualised rehabilitation plans. With interests in sports physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and rehabilitation, she aims to restore function, reduce pain and empower clients to build strength and confidence for long-term outcomes.

Over the past few years, Ella has pursued extensive additional training in women’s health physiotherapy and has had the privilege of working at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in both the postnatal and gynaecological wards.

Whether it’s supporting someone to return to exercise after having a baby, managing pelvic pain, or navigating recovery after gynaecological surgery, Ella aims to create a safe and supportive space where every client feels heard and empowered.

Background

Fatima’s journey into physiotherapy began after a long and frustrating recovery from a severe ankle sprain. What initially seemed like a minor injury became a significant turning point in her life. Over months of rehabilitation, she experienced firsthand the empowering impact of receiving the right guidance, support, and movement-based therapy—not only for physical healing, but for building mental resilience as well.

This experience inspired Fatima to pursue a career as a physiotherapist, with the goal of helping others navigate their recovery journeys with greater confidence and less uncertainty.

Whether supporting someone recovering from a sprain, surgery, or managing chronic pain, Fatima’s approach is grounded in evidence-based care, personalised rehabilitation plans, and a genuine passion for helping people move well again.

Her clinical interests include:

• Lower limb rehabilitation (ankle, knee, hip)
• Hydrotherapy
• Sports injury recovery and prevention
• Balance and proprioception training
• Education for long-term movement health
