She adopts a holistic approach to physiotherapy, recognising that factors such as stress, work-life balance, and family commitments can play a significant role in injury, recovery, and overall well-being. By working collaboratively with her patients, Savanna aims to deliver personalised, active treatment plans that support both physical recovery and long-term health.
