Maria holds a Masters of Physiotherapy from Flinders University and Bachelor of Kinesiology from University of Winnipeg in Canada. She has gained experience across musculoskeletal, neurological, and aged care settings. She has a strong interest in managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions and supporting patients through effective, evidence-based pain management.
Maria is passionate about achieving meaningful, long-term outcomes and focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of pain — not just the symptoms. Her approach is centered on understanding each individual’s goals and tailoring treatment plans to suit their specific needs and lifestyle.
She is particularly interested in neuromuscular physiotherapy and pain management, with a focus on the relationship between the nervous system and movement. She enjoys helping patients better understand their pain, retrain movement patterns, and build confidence through targeted exercise and education. Maria recognizes how significantly pain can impact daily life and overall quality of life. She works collaboratively with her patients to develop structured, goal-oriented treatment plans to address both symptom relief and long-term functional improvement.
Outside the clinic, Maria enjoys going on walks, working out, and spending time with friends and family.
