MEET Liz
Physiotherapist
Having a strong interest in health and fitness from a young age, Liz has been involved in various sports (swimming, rowing, water polo, triathlon) & outdoor pursuits (long-distance hiking, ultra trail running, rock climbing and mountaineering).
Understanding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and efficient movement patterns, she has pursued a career in Physiotherapy, with a personal focus on ‘prevention is the cure’.
Liz’s experience bridges acute and rehabilitation hospital contexts, specialist private practice physiotherapy centres and in specialist strength and conditioning. Liz has built on her passion for manual therapy in a novel way, bringing different systems together to assess and treat. She has also been involved in teaching other physiotherapists and health practitioners specialist techniques across different modalities (Muscle Energy Techniques, Myofascial Release, Connect Therapy, Visceral Release).
Having experienced first hand the effect of baseline strength and conditioning on her own ability to compete in various sports and outdoor pursuits with ease, Liz has since applied these movements and training principles to various populations. The result: effective and long-lasting decreases in musculoskeletal pain, injury prevention, improved movement efficiency and fitness, and the power to have a go at things you never imagined possible!
