Life Ready Physio, Pilates, Massage Camberwell

Camberwell

Originally from Carnoustie in Scotland, Eliza studied physiotherapy at Manchester Metropolitan University in England and worked in the UK for two years as a rotational physiotherapist in the hospital mainly covering orthopaedics and musculoskeletal outpatients. She then moved to New Zealand where she worked in a busy private practice clinic seeing a variety of patients.

Following this, she moved to Australia and has been working in private practice ever since, treating women’s health and musculoskeletal conditions.

She has a passion for women’s health and the SIJ and returning women to sports and activities throughout all stages of life that put a demand on the pelvic floor. “People don’t like to talk about their bladder and bowel problems and as a consequence, suffer in silence for years. It’s particularly rewarding to help patients in this area improve their quality of lives”.

Eliza has completed post graduate studies in dry needling, Mulligans’ mobilisations, Pilates, sacroiliac joint courses and various pelvic floor further studies, and is currently doing a post graduate degree at the University of South Australia in the Conservative Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

When she’s not treating at our Camberwell clinic, Eliza can be found on the golf course, at the gym, running, socialising, reading or attending a music or comedy gig.

Graduating with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Deakin University and then with a Doctor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne, Paul’s interest in physiotherapy stemmed from his own experience with an injury as a teenager, to which he now loves helping other people in a similar position reach their best possible physical condition.

He has a keen interest in acute sporting injuries, rehabilitation for performance, post surgical rehabilitation, dry needling and Pilates. He also has a passion for health and fitness and a holistic view towards nutrition and physical condition playing a major role in recovery and prevention of injuries.

Paul is also a self-employed personal trainer and loves his music, surfing AFL and basketball… Basically anything outdoors!

Having played AFL since he was a young one, Nick watched all sorts of injuries on the football field and was usually first over to see what had happened and how to help. Once he finished high school, he realised he wanted to help people while still being involved in sports and thought remedial massage therapy was the best way to do it!

Nick completed his studies at the Australian College of Sports Therapy and now takes pride in the fact that he can have someone come in who is in pain, and after the treatment, watch them walk out pain free! He also enjoys watching the development and improvement of his clients who have more severe problems and gradually getting them back to 100%.

The “hands on” side of massage therapy and being able to physically feel muscles releasing is something Nick has always had the most interest in. He also enjoys constantly learning new techniques to improving his current skill sets.

Each and every treatment Nick gives to his clients is individual. He does not have a set program or list that he follows, but rather uses his knowledge, experience and assessments to figure out the best treatment plan to help get his clients back to living life at their best potential.

Within a strong passion to move people towards a better quality of life, and believing Pilates plays a vital role in providing that service, Teri completed her STOTT Pilates Advanced Mat Work course in 2015 and is currently completing her Breathe EDU Cert IV course.

She has always loved practicing Pilates herself and now loves seeing the benefits Pilates provides to her clients – postural awareness, flexibility, strength and all round fitness!

“We live in a world where there is a lot of sitting for long hours, focusing on computers and driving, and unfortunately our postures are affected by this sedentary lifestyle. I hope that by creating postural awareness and getting people moving so that they are able to be more in-tune with their posture and body.”

Teri loves seeing the smile on her clients’ faces after they have completed a Pilates class. “That particular smile reserved for a class that leaves them feeling mentally and physically challenged, happier and stronger!”

Teri’s grounded upbringing and the love and support of her big family ensures she genuinely cares about her clients, and she enjoys seeing smiles on their faces, whether it’s through a great Pilates class or just a good chat.

When she’s not treating at our Camberwell clinic, Teri loves to perform yoga, Pilates, running, walks along the beach, drinking red wine and relaxing with her beautiful family!
