Background

Amanda graduated in 2012 from Curtin University and has worked in both private practice and within sporting clubs.

Amanda has extensive experience with basketball injuries having been the Physiotherapist for the Perth Redbacks from 2011-2013, the Sandringham Sabres Women’s SEABL squad, the Nunawading Spectres and the current physiotherapist to the Frankston Blues. She also served as a Physiotherapist to Basketball Victoria in 2015 and for the National Championship winning U18 Girls team. Amanda has also been a physiotherapist in the State Netball League in Western Australia and was the Perth Scotch College Rugby physiotherapist for their 2016 Melbourne tour.

Amanda has represented South Australia in rowing and Western Australia/Victoria in netball and knows the requirements needed of an athlete and the injuries that can arise with various sports. She has a special interest in the management of knee, ankle and spinal injuries and uses Pilates and dry needling to treat musculoskeletal pain.

Outside of working hours, Amanda plays netball and football and loves cooking (and eating!) She is looking forward to seeing the Collingwood Magpies win their first national netball championship in 2017.
