Our Senior Physiotherapist, Susan May, will work with you to determine the most suitable assessment dependent on your needs and goals.  Assessments include developmental history, baseline strength and mobility tests, functional outcome measures or standardised assessments such as the NSMDA or BOT-2. Following assessment, Susan can provide a report with recommendations if required. She will discuss with you the next steps whether they be a formal exercise program, some specific activity ideas suitable for your age group, or a block of therapy.

Susan has experience with clients of all ages but has a soft spot for paediatric clients. While working in the field of physiotherapy for over 26 years, Susan has worked across various settings including the disability sector, hospital, and private practice. Susan has a special interest in Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Physiotherapy services can be provided under all funding programs including NDIS (for self- and plan-managed participants), PITS, and Medicare.
