About Jacqueline
A recent arrival from the UK and after having spent much of the past two years in some form of lockdown, Jacqui and family look forward to being able to discover more of the country they now call home. Outside of work, Jacqui enjoys spending time with her family in the great outdoors and especially at our Aussie beaches.
Clinical Experience
Jacqueline qualified as a physio in the UK where she gained well rounded experience treating patients, suffering joint pain and soft tissue injuries as well as those recovering from fractures and orthopaedic surgery with rehabilitation physiotherapy. Like many of her peers, her interest in Pelvic health physiotherapy began through personal experience in pregnancy and childbirth.
