Bec is currently on Maternity leave and is expected to return early 2024!

  • Currently completing Masters of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Sports & Exercise Physiotherapy

Bec has always had a love for dance and the arts, and after experiencing her own injuries as a dancer, she became interested in how the body works and injury prevention. This led to her pursuing a career in Physiotherapy.

Bec became a dance instructor in her teens, and went on to also become a Pilates & Barre instructor while completing her University studies. This allowed her to work in dance-related fields and gain experience in teaching Reformer & Mat Pilates classes.

After finishing her degree, Bec worked in private practice in Adelaide before making her way to us at Move for Better Health. She worked with us for a few years initially before moving interstate with her partner in early 2019. Her time in Victoria was well spent, working within one of Melbourne’s leading Sports Physiotherapy practices where she gained invaluable experience.

Bec has gained extensive experience through her studies and practise in working with clients with the following:

• Hip & groin pain
• Headaches
• Neck & back pain
• Foot and ankle issues
• Prenatal & postnatal management – including treatment of pregnancy related pain, exercise advice and prescription
• Dance physiotherapy
• Performing artist physiotherapy including cheerleaders, gymnasts, calisthenics and musicians.

Her approach to Physiotherapy is all about holistic management – not only looking at the injury or site of pain in question, but also how it came about and how future recurrences can be prevented. She works very closely with our team of health professionals at Move for Better Health, especially when a Multi-Disciplinary approach is needed.

When she’s not at work, you may find Bec spending time with her family (especially her two cats, Kevin and Vincent), or listening to music, or attending any live performance she can get to!

Bec is currently on Maternity leave and is expected to return early 2024! If you need an appointment, you can book with one of our other physiotherapists by calling 8373 5655 or online here.
