Sophie graduated from Curtin University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) and completed her Masters of Clinical Physiotherapy (Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy) in 2018. Between those years, Sophie worked across both the public hospital and private practice setting, and worked exclusively in private practice since completing her Masters degree.

Over the years, Sophie gained further qualifications in Clinical Pilates, Dry Needling, level 1 and 2 of Watson headaches technique, certificate of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, and many other courses. This has given her a greater understanding of diagnostic and treatment techniques for common and more complex problems.

Outside of work, Sophie’s passions include sailing, scuba diving (preferably tropical warm water locations), her cats Marci and Ollie, and catching up with friends and family. Sophie also enjoys getting out in the garden and attending Pilates.
