Danica Emery
I became a physiotherapist because I have a passion for helping people be the best version of themselves.
Watching somebody achieve their goal is the best part of my job.
Working in private practice settings, I have treated patients with a wide range of issues using both hands-on and clinical pilates. I believe in a holistic, individualised approach to treatment and love helping patients to heal from the inside-out.
I love being physically active and believe it is an important part of our overall health. Therefore, I am passionate about assisting all my clients, whether they have a sporting injury or pelvic health concern, to return to sport, exercise and movement safely.
After having my first child, I realised the lack of support available for postnatal women and decided to undertake further training in Women’s Health Physiotherapy including a Masters in Pelvic Health at the University of Melbourne.
Outside of work I enjoy playing netball, gym workouts and being active with my two young children.

About Thomas: “I’ve been working as a physio for over 10 years, and every day am motivated by seeing my clients achieve their goals.
I have extensive experience with chronic and acute conditions and have worked in hospitals, private clinics and remote and regional communities in Australia and overseas. I recently worked as a Neurological Physiotherapist working with people with complex neurological conditions.
I have a special interest in mobility for people of all ages. I have worked in falls prevention programs, keeping people active and living in their own homes. Mobility in Parkinson’s Disease is important and I am excited about the specific exercises and techniques from the latest research, which I have personally seen benefit clients.
I believe in understanding the person and the lifestyle, not just the condition, and recognise the importance of accurate assessments and clear treatment planning. I want my clients understand their treatment plan and to feel supported and empowered in their recovery.
Whether acute or chronic sports or work injuries, there is always a treatment option.
I have run marathons and triathlons, so can add personal experience to evidence-based treatment programs.
Areas of Special Interest:
- Mobility – gait training for sport or function
- Back pain – chronic or acute
- Neck tension
- Hip & knee pain
- Dry needling
- Parkinson’s Disease

Sophie Hellings APA Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, MACP
I have over 12 years of experience working as a physiotherapist, having worked across both the public health and private practice setting. Over the following years, I gained further qualifications in Clinical Pilates, Dry Needling, and level 1 and 2 of Watson headaches technique. Still not feeling satisfied with my level of knowledge while treating musculoskeletal conditions, I went on to complete my certificate of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy in 2017 and then my Masters of Clinical Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Curtin University in 2018. This has given me a greater understanding of diagnostic and treatment techniques for common and more complex problems.
I get particularly excited in identifying the underlying cause of a client’s pain, and the management of complex pain and injury. Using the various skills I have learnt over the years, I am able to tailor the treatment to the individual client, addressing their individual goals and needs.
My passion for physiotherapy developed growing up with parents in the medical field. My dad would often share stories of his work day while having dinner which I was always fascinated by. My sisters never quite shared my same passion and were horrified when I would bring my anatomy books to the dinner table while studying physio.
Outside of work, my passions include sailing, scuba diving (preferably tropical warm water locations), my cat Marci, and catching up with friends and family (preferably with wine). I also enjoy getting out in my small garden and attending Pilates.
My areas of special clinical interest include:
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches and migraines nerve-related pain eg sciatica
- Hip/groin pain
- Knee pain
- Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation eg ACL, total hip and knee replacements
- BPPV and neck related dizziness
- Dry needling
- Clinical Movement Therapy – private and small groups

Vicki Negus Specialist Sports Physiotherapist
With nearly 30 years of experience as a Physiotherapist including 25 years as a Certified Pilates Practitioner, and 10 years as a Registered Yoga Teacher / Certified Yoga Therapist, I have worked extensively in movement therapy with a broad range of clients including West Australian Ballet, Fremantle Dockers and Olympic athletes.
Within physiotherapy I strive to blend an all-encompassing holistic approach, which considers my clients’ general wellbeing, lifestyle and daily activities, with evidence-based scientific principles, including a detailed physical and biomechanical assessment and treatment. I then tailor individual treatment programmes with a large focus on exercise therapy, to help people meet their health and fitness goals. This could take the form of supervised Pilates sessions in our fully equipped studio, one-on-one Yoga Therapy sessions or home exercise programmes.
One of the peaks of my professional career was achieving the title of Specialist Sports Physiotherapist, and Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (FACP), with a sub-specialty in Dance Physiotherapy, in 2007. This distinction represents the highest level of clinical expertise a physiotherapist can achieve in Australia. The Specialist training and examination process is the most rigorous post-Masters degree clinical programme for physiotherapy in the world.
Since completing my own Specialist training I have mentored and examined other Specialist Physiotherapist candidates undertaking this process in both Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. I am also an experienced educator, having conducted numerous lectures and workshops for undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapists, Pilates instructors and professional dancers.
My particular areas of interest within physiotherapy are:
- Dance and Performing Arts
- Sports
- Hypermobility, EDS and fibromyalgia
- Chronic and complex injury management

I understand the importance of achievable goals and a streamlined program, so I take my time to design and communicate your optimal journey to wellness.
I treat the body as a whole. I find clients have the most success with treatment when we work together to improve the whole body, which is why I love to use the movement of Clinical Pilates.
