Emma’s journey began as an elite-level hockey player when she had her interest in injury management sparked through a series of knee injuries sustained as an adolescent. Realising the pivotal role of exercise in her own rehabilitation, Emma began her professional journey as a personal trainer and learnt the value of building strong and lasting relationships with her clients. A lifelong passion for learning led Emma to then pursue and complete a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology followed by a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy. Through this process and working in both rural and city settings, Emma has amassed experience with multiple populations and conditions such as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and adolescents. Her passion lies in translating modern research into helpful information, with a special interest in pre and post surgical recovery, pre and post natal training, athletic performance and musculoskeletal injuries. Emma’s goal is to empower you to consistently choose to move, working with pain to help you take control of your physical future.

Liam was a passionate rugby league player and weightlifter when a significant back injury transformed his perception of recovery and movement. Liam started his career in health as a personal trainer, where he discovered a love for meeting and helping others realise their physical goals. He then sought to expand his knowledge by completing a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology followed by a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy. Liam is the epitome of a learner for life, and has developed an up-to-date and approachable style of practice that is very popular among clients. We know that, having successfully rehabilitated himself back onto the sporting field, he can help you get back to what you love, whether that includes sports performance or functional independence. Liam has involved himself in the management of a wide variety of conditions including diabetes, cancer and osteoarthritis whilst developing a specific interest in injury rehabilitation with lower back pain being a key focus. Liam’s training philosophy revolves around the adaptability of the body; promoting movement as medicine whilst empowering his clients to understand and manage their own conditions.

Dhanya Karthikeyan grew up in Singapore and being an avid sportswoman, she represented Singapore in 100m and 200m sprinting events as a pre-teenager. She is also a Classical Indian Dancer (Bharathanatyam) and is currently part of the Lingalayam Dance Academy where she continues to perform, showcasing one of the oldest classical dance forms of India.

Her love for all things sport and dance, and experiencing some of her own injuries led her to pursue physiotherapy where she completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University in 2020. Dhanya has since then undergone placements rurally and in metropolitan areas and has also completed her first year of graduate work at Concord Repatriation General Hospital.

To pursue her interest in musculoskeletal, strength/conditioning and sports sectors, Dhanya continues to work closely with UNSW’s Football Club since 2018 as well as travelling inter-state with UNSW for The Australian University Games in 2019.

With her experience in various areas of musculoskeletal, cardiothoracic, neurological rehabilitation, geriatrics and orthopedics, Dhanya’s passion lies in building meaningful relationships with her clients and empowering them with evidence based knowledge, guidance and strategies to enable healthy self efficacy and management of their physical wellbeing.
