Debbie is an experienced physio who has been helping people move and feel better for more than 20 years. Originally from South Africa, she relocated to Adelaide with her family in 2022, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge and a caring, hands-on approach to treatment. She provides care for a wide range of muskuloskeletal conditions, including back and neck pain, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain, as well as sporting injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Debbie also has experience in treating TMJ (jaw pain), BPPV vertigo, and supporting women through pregnancy-related conditions, including mastitis. As a very hands-on physio, Debbie combines manual therapy with other techniques such as dry needling, joint mobilisation, and myofascial treatment.

She leads Physio Movement and Physio Exercise Classes at Move for Better Health, guiding clients through their assessments and helping them progress into safe and effective exercise programs.

Debbie is available to see clients at Malvern for assessments and a number of equipment classes.
