Rachael

Rachael brings more than 9 years of clinical experience, drawing on her time at Royal North Shore Hospital and her experience as a researcher in the community health domain.

Rachael is passionate about being part of a team all focused on the same goal of supporting people to live their fullest lives, with a broad-ranging skill set spanning neurological conditions including stroke, Parkinson's and neurodegenerative diseases, respiratory and vascular conditions, and other physical disabilities.

Having worked closely with individuals and families alongside their medical team through the often complex process of regaining function and returning home, Rachael has invaluable experience and skills to share. Seeing the many challenges associated with living with disability, she moved into the community health setting to better support the transition from being able to move to being able to do the everyday activities that make a difference.

For Rachael, being a physiotherapist is about a desire to connect with people and be on the journey with them — 'let's give it a go, assess, trial, analyse and optimise.' Her approach to therapy centres on the individuality of a person's needs through the stages and challenges of their health journey.
