Claire has been a Physiotherapist for 20 years and strives to provide a physiotherapy service that includes a thorough assessment, and a hands-on approach to treatment. She moved back to her hometown of Hobart 2 years ago after spending 9 years in Sydney working in a busy city Sports clinic where she gained experience working with Olympic and AFL physiotherapists, Performing Arts physiotherapists and along side sporting teams.
Claire is passionate about holistic and healthy approaches to recovery by using a mix of Clinical Pilates, Dry Needling and manual therapy. She loves treating sports injuries, especially with rowers, running assessments and shoulders - working with elite sports teams and weekend warriors. Claire also has experience in women's health and low back pain therapies.
Claire has enjoyed working and travelling around Australia and the world. Rowing for the Australian Rowing Team took her to World Championship level where she won a Silver medal in Belgrade in the Women’s Four. Claire continues to enjoy fitness and strength work as part of her daily routine, and although no longer rowing, you’ll see her around the gym lifting weights on in the Pilates studio.
You can book in to see Claire at the clinic Monday - Thursday 7am - 4pm and Friday 7am - 1pm. If your time isn’t available, please send her a text on 0480 565 986.
