Growing up in Canada, Craig was often struck down with injuries and requiring physiotherapy, which encouraged him to become a physiotherapist himself and help people in a similar situation. He made the move to Perth to complete his studies at Curtin University and now loves physiotherapy as it provides a platform for meeting and interacting with clients and allows him to help people achieve their health, fitness and wellbeing goals.

Craig has a keen interest in orthopaedics, rehabilitation and sports physiotherapy as he finds it very rewarding to help people return to their pre injury level and beyond. “I found as a student, these areas appealed to me straight away and that has continued as my career has progressed.”

When he’s not zooming about Perth for our Life Ready Mobile team, Craig is a volunteer surf life saver at City of Perth SLSC, but you’ll also catch him playing football and hanging out with his family and dog.

We love Craig because he is a very positive person and you will rarely see him without a smile!

Having always wanted to help people, Charlotte chose a career in physiotherapy as she believes it is very rewarding to see someone improve with the help she can offer them.

She grew up in Singapore and came to Australia, a place she now very much calls home, when she was 10 years old and completed her studies at Curtin University.

“Actually studying and becoming a physiotherapist has made me have a total lifestyle change, from a completely sedentary individual to an active one. This is after having started studying physiotherapy and learning so much about exercise rehab and pretty much majority of the cohort and my peers were active people!”

Charlotte loves imparting her knowledge of the human body and her personal experiences on to others and seeing her clients improve with some physical activity incorporated into their personalised rehabilitation program. She enjoys strength and conditioning in particular, and providing rehabilitation incorporated with exercise.

Outside of work, Charlotte enjoys going to the gym, which gives her a clear headspace. “Exercise has changed my life around and helped me manage stress.”

Her other interests include cooking and gardening, and she is on a quest to make her home as self sufficient as possible with home grown greens!

Prior to working as a physiotherapist, Hannah completed a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences at Newcastle University. After working in research for a couple of years, she decided to change careers in order to have a more hands-on role in helping people recover from injury and achieve their health goals. She is passionate about being able to heal the body, and rehabilitate without invasive measures.

She completed a Masters of Physiotherapy at Curtin University in 2017 and has spent two years working in public hospitals in WA and NSW and has gained interest in working with older adults and people with neurological conditions (such as a spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke or Parkinson’s Disease). Given her interest in these fields, Hannah has undertaken additional training in the areas of neurological rehabilitation and recovery post-stroke and spinal cord injury. Her additional clinical interests include vestibular management, cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, paediatrics and hydrotherapy. She is excited to be able to bring her knowledge and skill-set out of the hospital system and to people at home.

Hannah grew up in Port Macquarie, a small coastal town in NSW. She made the move to Perth with her husband in 2015 looking for an adventure, and couldn’t imagine a better place for adventure than the “wild west”!

She believes rehabilitation requires a coordinated team approach to recovery – where her role is to help her clients set and achieve their goals, with a focus on working on what matters to them!

“The best part of my job comes from interacting with the people I treat. I love the experiences, humour, wisdom, and challenges that each individual person brings, and nothing makes me happier than helping someone set their goals and achieve them.”

Outside of work Hannah enjoys walking and taking in the beautiful WA scenery, trying to keep her garden alive, and starting (but not necessarily finishing) crafty projects.

In 2015, Crystal decided to focus on providing mobile speech pathology services to those unable to travel to appointments, and to those looking for functional therapy within their home environment.

She has two school-aged daughters who are extremely cheeky and forever keep her on my toes! She embraces the work/life balance that mobile allied health services have to offer, and happily juggles being a speech pathologist with being a wife and mother to her amazing girls.

Trung completed his physiotherapy degree at Curtin University and during his studies, undertook the Go Global International Program in Shanghai, China, where he had the opportunity to explore neurological rehabilitation.

“One of the main reasons I wanted to be a physiotherapist was because I grew up around playing sports. I was always intrigued about the rehabilitation and management process, though one of the main factors was my family. A big influence was when we went to physiotherapy sessions for my grandma’s total knee reconstruction and for my mum’s osteoarthritis in her hands. Seeing how their conditions have improved, I knew this was something I wanted to do, not only to help my family, but also provide the same service to everyone.”

His clinical interests include shoulder injuries and neck pain.

Outside of work, Trung enjoys travelling to different countries where he is able to learn and experience new cultures and cuisines. Trung is also passionate about his sports and was once a part of his local football team.
