Originally hailing from South Australia, Briony has been a physiotherapist for her entire career (it’s rude to ask exactly how long!). She completed degrees in both Biochemistry and Physiotherapy from Adelaide University and Uni SA. Briony has worked all around Australia in just about every field of physiotherapy including assisting the military in the Northern Territory. She and her family have been on the Sunshine Coast for over 25 years and they still love it as much as the day they first moved there.

For the past 15 years, Briony has focussed on her skills on head, neck and jaw pain. She has done significant extra study in these areas as well as in the fields of vestibular physiotherapy and concussion management. So often these conditions occur together so Briony takes a ‘whole body’ approach towards managing them both which is unique.

Briony loves to surf and run and is a long time patrolling member and competitor for Alexandra Headlands Surf Live Saving Club.

Briony is available for Physiotherapy appointments at our Maroochydore location. To book an appointment with Briony, please contact the Maroochydore clinic on 07 5479 1777.
