Physiotherapy Journey

Lisa established Step by Step Physiotherapy in 2012. She has worked privately since 1996 and has over 30 years' experience working as a physiotherapist at the Child Development Service, and at Princess Margaret and King Edwards Hospitals. Lisa is a member of the national paediatric branch of the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Special Interests

Early Intervention, gentle and supportive development of early milestones. As the mother of 4 children herself and 30+ years of working with children, Lisa has substantial experience in providing practical advice and therapy strategies to families wanting to promote gross motor development of their baby or child within the context of busy family life.

Why babies and children?

It is rewarding seeing them achieve milestones, and sharing their success with the parents. Working with babies and children has its challenges but it makes me more adaptable to the various little personalities, and makes me creative in putting exercises into fun activities and guiding parents how they can be involved in doing some of these exercises in the day to day tasks.

Non work life

Mother to 4 and grandmother to 5 Lisa knows very well the fun-filled chaos of the early years! Lisa's physiotherapy advice is infused with 40 real life parenting experience. You can rest assured that all her advice has been well and truly tried and tested!
