Olivia is excellent at treating injuries to your neck, back, ankle & Achilles, as well as shoulder injuries. Her past clinical experience in football has given her the skills to help you with your knee and hip issues, and is experienced in getting you back to sport as quickly as possible.

Olivia’s (or Liv’s) love of sport inspired her to study Exercise and Sport Science initially, and then go on to study Physiotherapy. She graduated from Macquarie University in Sydney with her Doctor of Physiotherapy.

Liv has found a passion in working closely with patients to help reach their goals and return to the activities they enjoy, so you know that you will get the best care and attention to detail when you work with Liv. 

Liv has a wealth of experience working in elite and sub-elite sport having been immersed in sports organisations throughout her studies and early career.

She has worked with the Sydney Swans AFL and VFL clubs most recently, as well as Sydney University AFL club, Gladesville Ravens soccer club and Old Ivanhoe Grammarians football club in the Victorian Amateur League.

Beyond sport, Liv has a great deal of enthusiasm for all aspects of physiotherapy having a friendly and caring approach to each and every patient.

She is committed to providing the latest evidence based treatments and enjoys working alongside her extensive network of health professionals. This means that you are receiving up to date treatment and assessments when you see Liv.

Liv's passion to be at the forefront of the latest physiotherapy research evidence has inspired Liv to undertake a Master of Research program to further develop her academic research skills. She looks forward to completing this in 2024.
