Dry Needling Qualification

Amy is a Griffith University (Gold Coast) graduate, holding a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with First Class Honours. She has also completed courses in Dry Needling/ Western Acupuncture and Clinical Pilates. Prior to physiotherapy, Amy was a personal trainer, professional contemporary dancer, and dance teacher in Canada. She enjoys providing guidance and care to people of all ages and skill levels, so they can safely achieve their goals.

Amy’s career has been fuelled by a lifelong passion for dance, which is what led her to become a physiotherapist, and have special interest in treating dancers. As a young student, she trained in many dance genres on the Gold Coast, with a strong ballet foundation. She competed in many competitions, and underwent ballet exams to completion in the ACB syllabus (Russian Vaganova style) before commencing tertiary level full-time contemporary training in Canada. From personal experience, she understands the athletic and artistic demands required for dance, while appreciating that each body is unique. Amy is excited to help dancers overcome barriers to performing their best by utilising a range of treatment modalities such as manual therapy, strength and conditioning, Pilates, injury management and pre-pointe assessments/ programs.

Amy is a member of the International Association of Dance Medicine and Science, and the Australian Physiotherapy Association. She strives to continue learning and is excited to evolve with the physiotherapy profession and the current times that we live in. When she is not in the clinic, you will likely find her at a dance studio or playing with her beautiful border collie, Nala.

COVID-19

As per the government health guidelines on the 22nd of March 2020 non essential services will be closed. This does not include us. While we are still open for our usual services we will be practicing strict and heightened hygiene measures during this time to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

From the PM’s address today, we want to be clear we are not a gym. We are a health care practice, that provides services to optimise health and reduce pain from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Our studio team are ensuring complete high grade sanitisation of props and equipment that will only be single person use for each session, and ensuring social distancing. The staff and studio have had no connection to the COVID-19 at this time.

As per the government health guidelines we will not allow access to our services if you answer “yes” to any of the below:

Have you been overseas in the last 14 days?
Have you been in contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
Do you have a dry cough, shortness of breath, fever or sore throat?
If answered yes to any of the above, please call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 020 080.

We ask patients who are at risk to please let us know before your appointment so we can discuss your position. This includes immune-suppressed, the elderly and those who have been in high-risk areas. We also ask that you call the clinic if you do develop COVID-19 or have come in contact with someone who has so we can act according to the government recommendations.

For all treatments, our linen is being changed for every client and a wipe down of all equipment used. We ask that you remain in your car until your treatment time to minimise patient to patient contact in the waiting area. We also ask that you use ‘tap and go’ for your payment method rather than cash. Also we will not require you to sign your health fund slip to minimise cross use of pens between staff and patients. All our door handles and surfaces are regularly being cleaned during the day.

We ask everyone who comes in for group therapy sessions.

Bring a large towel and socks.
Keep 1.5m distance between yourself and others.
Wash your hands before and after the class.
If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your face and wash or sanitise hands immediately.
If you wish to wear gloves we have them available for you.
Online and Telehealth will be an option in the very near future….watch this space.

We are understanding of each and everyone’s individual position and we deeply care for your health and encourage everyone to take steps to keep strong and healthy at this time. Please feel free to call or email our staff to voice your concern and receive guidance. We are dedicated to informing you of our position and future movements in relation to Covid-19.
