A letter from the founder:


 

Dear Bellarine Residents,

I write to let you know a bit about the story behind Allied Physiotherapy.

Physicality has always been my primary love language. Back in high school, I was a sports mad student who spent more of my days out on the athletics track, playing footy, swimming, cycling, you name it – rather than studying. When I became sidelined with injury during my final year, devastating as it was, I took the opportunity to hit the books, grow my knowledge and snag results far exceeding my expectations. This opened the door to what I feel has become a truly natural career fit in Physiotherapy, and helped affirm one of the founding pillars of Allied Physiotherapy –  “In every challenge or adversity – there in lies opportunity for GROWTH”
 
Now having practiced over 20 years in a wide array of settings, and with the help of some incredible mentors along the way, I am proud to have been able to assist thousands of others overcome injury and adversity. Professionally, these first few decades were all about honing my craft as a well rounded musculoskeletal clinician. Personally, it was also about gaining broad lived experiences outside of work including extensive travel, competing in elite level athletic endeavors –  as well as acquiring and recovering from a truly exhaustive list of injuries myself. The last of which has proven to be an invaluable asset in developing my skillset (though not a recommended avenue for professional development! )   
 

In more recent times, through reflecting back and discovering a new level of appreciation for the efforts of my early career mentors, I have found added enrichment, fulfillment and purpose in being able to support and mentor early career Allied Health to flourish and find meaning in what can be a challenging period to navigate – being a part of their professional and personal growth and development has provided an early sense of legacy and amplified impact. 

Starting Allied Physiotherapy as an independent business after moving with our young family to the beautiful township of OG, has provided a wonderful vehicle through which all this professional and personal experience can be further utilised to deliver on an ever evolving Just Cause.

We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have forged many invaluable alliances within such a collaborative local health and fitness community. These relationships have been crucial in the establishment of our service and the quality of care we are able to provide. Special mentions go to Marianne and Michael Nicol at Ocean Grove Allied Health and Bridgey at SCY247 for  creating such exceptional spaces for us to consult from, Dimi for her admin and PR genius, the Clinic Mastery team for helping my non clinical skills evolve, and Jemuel Pryse for being such a legend of a colleague to work alongside.

So let me take the opportunity to thank you for reading our story and entrusting us as one of your integral musculoskeletal health Allies. We very much look forward to hearing your story and supporting you in your perpetual journey of 
HEALING, GROWTH, and OPTIMISATION.
