Olivia McManus

Originally from Brisbane, Olivia completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at The University of Queensland. Olivia enjoys consulting with active individuals, athletes and people from all backgrounds. She has a particular passion for managing lower limb injuries, sporting conditions and post-operative rehabilitation, and enjoys working closely with her patients to return them to their chosen activities.

Olivia is the current Redcliffe Dolphins A-grade head physiotherapist, and has previously worked as a physio with the QRL City V Country representative teams and the Dolphin’s Harvey Norman 19s team. She has also worked extensively as a sports trainer within Rugby Union in the QPR competition, Rugby 7s teams at a national level, and also with football and netball teams. Recently, Olivia completed an internship with the Queensland Reds SuperRugby side, where she further developed robust skills in injury management and high-performance rehabilitation.

Olivia’s clinical approach centres on evidence-based best practice rehabilitation and outcome-driven care. Her interests have led her to gain further qualifications as an ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach and in Dry Needling. She has also spent some time volunteering in Mnazi Mjoma Hospital in Tanzania, gaining valuable experience managing complex conditions.

On the weekends, you will find Olivia on the side of a footy field, at the beach, in the gym or playing hockey.

Olivia is available for Physiotherapy appointments at our Caloundra and Sippy Downs clinics.
