Practitioner Profile
Christine is a warm, hands-on physiotherapist with a strong interest in lumbopelvic rehabilitation, pelvic floor physiotherapy and exercise-based rehabilitation. She enjoys taking the time to understand the whole person and the factors contributing to their presentation.
Her approach is thoughtful and highly individualised, taking time to understand the full picture rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Christine combines skilled manual therapy – including massage, soft tissue techniques and joint mobilisation along with Clinical Pilates, strength training and progressive exercise rehabilitation.
Christine has additional training and experience in pelvic floor assessment and retraining, including helping women with stress or urgency urinary incontinence. She enjoys providing practical, supportive care when pelvic floor changes begin to affect exercise, confidence or day-to-day activities.
Christine’s style is calm, practical and collaborative. She values careful assessment, clear explanation and treatment that feels purposeful, with rehabilitation shaped around the individual’s lifestyle, goals and preferences.
Since beginning practice in 2012, Christine has built a broad rehabilitation background across musculoskeletal, occupational and aged-care settings. Her experience ranges from five winter seasons in Japan treating skiing and snowboarding injuries to running assessment, return-to-work rehabilitation, and helping older adults maintain mobility, balance and independence.
Christine values thoughtful, collaborative care and aims for patients to feel thoroughly assessed, genuinely cared for and clear about the next steps in their recovery.
