Tailah Catterall
Tailah graduated from Bond University with a Doctor of Physiotherapy and has spent her career in the private practice setting. Tailah is originally from Tasmania and also holds a Bachelor of Health Science from the University of Tasmania.
Tailah’s primary area’s of expertise are in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy. She has a special interest in neck and concussion management, sports injuries, spinal injuries/conditions (specifically neck and lower back pain) and lower limb rehabilitation. She embraces a holistic approach and combines extensive clinical experience with a strong passion for helping people return to feeling their best and doing what they love.
Tailah holds her DMA Clinical Pilates certification, ASCA level 1 strength and conditioning certification and her dry needling certification. She incorporates a combination of the knowledge and modalities from these courses to individually tailor to her patients needs and goals. She aims to empower you with the knowledge to be better able to understand your own body while walking you through the tools to build you a strong, resilient and adaptable body that can handle everyday life as well as sport or other activities.
Tailah has worked extensively in AFL, with seven seasons of experience within the sporting environment. This brings a deep understanding of injury management (through every stage), performance and recovery as well as the emotional challenges of rehabilitation. This experience allows her to accurately assess movement, identify the root cause and develop tailored rehabilitation programs that help patients recover efficiently, regain confidence and return to the activities they love with confidence.
Outside the clinic, Tailah enjoys an active lifestyle. You will find her in the gym, finding all the best walking spots with her dog, hiking, spending time with her partner, friends and family or at Bunnings or a nursery finding more plants for her plant collection.
Tailah is available for Physiotherapy appointments at Sports & Spinal Burleigh.
