Bio

Nerissa found her passion for musculoskeletal and orthopedic rehabilitation after working as a student physiotherapist for a local Scottish rugby club. Her favorite part about treating orthopedic injuries is diagnosing the problem, finding ways to rehabilitate without surgical intervention, and educating patients so they can feel empowered to accomplish their goals.

Nerissa has completed further training in sports massage, post covid rehabilitation, as well as entry level acupuncture and dry needling. She is currently working on her additional acupuncture and dry needling levels and interested in gaining better insight into shoulder injuries and its associated rehab.

Nerissa was born in Oman, moved to Canada when she was 11, and has recently moved to sunny Australia. She attributes her outgoing personality to her big family, and her encounters with individuals of different backgrounds when traversing through Europe. When outside the clinic, Nerissa can be found playing tennis, smiling at your dog, and trying to keep up with all her downloaded podcasts.

Nerissa‘s special interests include:
  • Shoulder injuries – AC joint, rotator cuff pathology, instability.
  • Tennis and other racquet sport injuries.
  • Neck and upper back pain
