Lavinia is a dedicated physiotherapist committed to helping individuals recover from injuries, improve movement, and achieve their goals. Growing up on a broad-acre cropping farm in regional Western Victoria, she developed a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of the physical demands of both rural life and sport. She holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Australian Catholic University and has experience across sports, musculoskeletal, and neurological rehabilitation throughout her studies.

As a Victorian Netball League athlete with over five years of experience, Lavinia also understands the demands of high-performance sport and the challenges of injury recovery. Her personal experience with physiotherapy has shaped her approach – focusing on evidence-based treatment, education, and personalised care to empower patients in their rehabilitation journey.
