About Me[edit | edit source]
I am a registered physiotherapist currently working in Australia in aged care. Prior to this I worked in New Zealand in a range of settings: public hospitals and private aged care facilities. From early on in my career I have enjoyed helping people optimise their functional ability for the goals they are working towards. In particular, I enjoy rehabilitation with older adults, especially following amputation. I was fortunate to be mentored by Debbie Hockley who generously shared her time, knowledge and skills with me.
I also find the psychological aspect of rehabilitation interesting. I think factors such as motivation, self-efficacy and resilience are sometimes overlooked in clinical care in favour of more visible physical issues yet they have a huge impact on the outcomes physiotherapists achieve with clients.
