Ms Zali Rayment

Zali completed her Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science degree (with Distinction) at Deakin University, Burwood which included one year studying abroad at Coastal Carolina University, South Carolina, USA. Following a gap-year spent travelling through Europe, Africa and Asia, she went on to complete her postgraduate Doctor of Physiotherapy degree at The University of Melbourne.

Zali has played Basketball for many years at both junior domestic and representative levels, and in the Victorian Youth Championship Women’s league. She now enjoys her basketball at a more social level, playing on a weekly basis in a mixed team of friends. Zali enjoys regularly running to maintain her cardiovascular fitness and has completed a number of half-marathons. Over the past few years, Zali has transitioned to playing AFLW with her local club and taking up the challenge to develop and refine her skills in a new game. She also enjoys downhill skiing at her favourite mountain (Mt Hotham) and when the opportunity presents, at overseas locations.

Zali has completed both certifications in Reformer and Mat-work Clinical Pilates, and uses her knowledge from this, paired with her strength and conditioning experience to take a client-centred approach when working with patients to devise a treatment plan. She uses a combination of hands-on, Pilates and exercise-based treatments to assist individuals in achieving their rehabilitation goals. The positive effects of this approach can also include improved core strength and enhanced sports performance.

Zali has a great interest in Sports Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, as well as Women’s Health Physiotherapy. In particular, she is passionate about working with people of all ages and abilities to achieve their exercise, sport, health and wellbeing goals.
