Our physiotherapists are experts in spinal conditions. They work collaboratively with our medical specialists, exercise physiologists and remedial massage therapists to help achieve the optimal outcome. Our physiotherapists will assess you, diagnose your problem, and formulate a treatment plan which may include correcting biomechanical abnormalities, modifying your movement patterns, improving your posture and developing guidelines for return to normal activity.
Our exercise physiologists specialize in clinical interventions which are exercise-based, provide education, advice and support. There is a strong focus on achieving behavioural change. They will look at your lifestyle and goals, and design an exercise programme taking into account the physiotherapy recommendations. They will prescribe the right exercises, show you how to do them and monitor your progress during your recovery.
Felicity is a founding clinician at Backspace and our senior Exercise Physiologist with 5 years of specialized experience in treating patients with back pain and rehabilitation after spine surgery or injury.
Felicity focuses on educating patients and providing evidence-based practice to design a tailored and achievable exercise program. Her goal is to assist you in returning to desired activities or even build new exercise habits by providing you with education and recommendations on how to do so. Whether your goal is to improve general strength to assist with activities of daily living or return to exercise and sport, she will assist you in returning to these activities in a safe and manageable way.
Felicity is currently looking to build her clinical skills further by acquiring her reformer Pilates qualification. Outside of work she enjoys spending most of her free time with friends and family.
