Laura Rooney

Laura graduated with a First Class Bachelors of Science Honors in Physiotherapy from the University of Liverpool, UK in 2022.

Her professional journey started in a busy NHS Hospital Trust and private clinics alongside volunteering with youth groups such as Cerebral Palsy Football Club in the UK. She gained valuable experience in working with acute and chronic upper limb, lower limb and spinal musculoskeletal injuries and post operative rehabilitation including arthroplasties and soft tissue surgeries, in a diverse client population. Laura also managed respiratory conditions on intensive care, post operatively and on medical wards.  She then brought her experience over to Melbourne where she developed her experience in Clinical Pilates to integrate this into her practice. She has also attended post graduate courses including Acupuncture and Dry Needling, Learning Disabilities and Motivational Interviewing.

Laura has a particular interest in pain management and post operative rehabilitation through strength and conditioning and clinical pilates. She is passionate about client empowerment to optimise function and quality of life in a holistic, collaborative approach.

Outside of work, Laura loves being active in the gym, exploring new walks and trying out new foods and restaurants (so any recommendations are gladly welcome!)
