Magdalene is a physiotherapist who believes in challenging outdated norms, debunking common rehab myths, and empowering patients with the knowledge they need to take charge of their recovery. With over 15 years of experience across public and private healthcare, she combines strong clinical expertise with genuine care for each person who walks through her door.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) from the University of South Australia, and later completed a specialist Master’s degree in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Curtin University. Her career has included working with a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, mentoring emerging physiotherapists, and supporting national-team athletes and sports players. She previously served as clinical team lead in the KTPH Inpatient Orthopaedic Team and Extended Diagnostic Treatment Unit (EDTU), where she drove early discharge pathways, and co-managed the Outpatient Trauma Clinic.
What drives Magdalene is the full rehabilitation journey – guiding patients from early mobility challenges back to confident activity and sports participation. She thrives in advanced sports rehabilitation, tailoring each session creatively to meet individual goals. With specialised training in running mechanics and performance science, she has a strong passion for working with long-distance runners and marathoners, helping them continue training safely, reduce pain, and optimise performance.
Magdalene is skilled in managing running-related injuries, complex back pain, and lower-limb conditions. She also has extensive experience in post-operative rehabilitation, including ACL and ligament reconstruction/repair, meniscus and cartilage repair, shoulder surgeries, and total knee replacements. Her diagnostic approach is grounded in the Musculoskeletal Clinical Translation Framework,allowing her to identify movement impairments, contributing factors, and rehab priorities with precision. This structured approach, combined with a biopsychosocial perspective, enables her to guide patients who may have plateaued elsewhere toward clearer understanding and meaningful progress.
A firm believer in continuous learning, Magdalene consistently upgrades her skills to stay evidence-based and relevant. Having experienced shoulder and lower-limb injuries herself, she understands the frustration and uncertainty that come with being sidelined by pain. This personal insight shapes her caring, righteous, and patient-first approach – she advocates for her patients the way she would want someone to advocate for her.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys running, experimenting with new workouts around the neighbourhood, boxing fitness classes, and listening to personal development podcasts.
Magdalene believes that every patient deserves a pair of attentive, skilled, and genuinely caring hands to guide them back to the activities and sports they love.
