Curtin University
AHPC registered
Sarita graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor's degree (Honours) in Physiotherapy in 2021.
Throughout her education, she had a keen interest in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, which prompted her to join the private sector specialising in post-op rehabilitation and musculoskeletal injuries. In her 2 years in the private setting, she has worked alongside experienced physiotherapists, allowing her to hone her skills and knowledge in the musculoskeletal arena.
Having done her thesis on non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain presentations in emergency departments, Sarita understood the importance of using a holistic approach to care for her patients.

Sarita’s clinical work is also largely informed by current evidence to help her patients meet their rehab goals.
Aside from manual techniques and exercises, Sarita strongly believes that patient education is essential for managing musculoskeletal conditions. She constantly advocates for self-efficacy in the management of musculoskeletal conditions. At the same time, having a collaborative partnership with her patients means a lot to her. As such, she aims to understand every individual’s story and needs which will then guide the rehab journey.
