Meet the Team

A love of sport, health and the human body is what fuelled Helen’s drive to establish a multidisciplinary clinic that delivers exceptional Physiotherapy care. Helen holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Physiotherapy from Latrobe University, after graduating in 1990. She has completed many post-graduate short courses, including DMA Clinical Pilates, Cook & Purdam’s Approach to Tendinopathy, the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy® for spinal pain, Adolescent Injuries in Sport, Hip and Pelvic Injuries in Sport, the Watson Headache® Approach to Headache and Migrane management, LJ Lee’s Thorax and Rib cage, the Acute Sporting Knee and many others.

She is a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, the Sports Physiotherapy and Private Practitioners Groups. These associations ensure real time updates in the latest research and evidence based practice.

Helen initially worked in several of Melbourne’s largest teaching hospitals and in England for two years. These experiences gave her valuable opportunities to develop her musculoskeletal and orthopaedic management skills. She has enjoyed competing in tennis, swimming and badminton at club level and now with her daughters’ involvement in netball and cheerleading, she has an ever stronger interest in adolescent sporting and growth injuries!

Samantha graduated from the University of Queensland in 2010 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. In 2017 she completed a Graduate Certificate in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy, further advancing her clinical skills and decision making with musculoskeletal injuries and sports physiotherapy.

Samantha commenced her career in a private practice in Airlie Beach, where she was involved in managing a wide range of varying musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries.  She also volunteered for the local football team and conducted workplace visits to the Whitsunday Islands.  Relocating to Gippsland in 2013, Sam has since completed many post-graduate short courses, furthering her treatment skills in Shoulder Rehabilitation, Dry Needling and Sports and Spinal Injury management. She has undergone extensive Clinical Pilates training with the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI), including Ante & Post Natal Pilates and Pilates for Runners & Cyclists.

In October 2019, Samantha completed her 200 Hour Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training in India with Himalaya Yoga Valley Centre. Her yoga training has broadened her scope of practice, allowing Samantha to effectively rehabilitate injured yogi’s and incorporate yoga postures and practices into her exercise prescription.
