Bio
Jade is a passionate and dedicated Physiotherapist with over 18 years of experience in private practice. Her approach is holistic, with a focus on meeting her patients on where they are at and working together to set and achieve individualised goals. As an AHTA Associate Hand Therapist, Jade sees a variety of hand and upper limb injuries, post-operative management and rehab. She enjoys making custom splints for hands, wrists and elbows. After years trying to understand her own health issues and pain, Jade developed a passion for working with other individuals experiencing chronic pain and illness. She has a special interest and also lived experience with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Chronic Pain. Her journey of working with this community and many years of specialised professional development have led to a deep understanding of hypermobility, its related conditions and how they can vary from person to person. Jade is passionate about using movement as therapy when and where it is appropriate and loves to tailor her approach to each individual. In the clinic, she uses hands-on treatment, strategies like taping and bracing, movement education and exercise to help her patients live better lives. She offers Clinical Pilates classes and one-on-one sessions in our dedicated gym/pilates space. In her free time, Jade enjoys moving her body with pilates and yoga, bushwalking with her dog, Oat, spending time with her nieces and seeing live music.
