What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
Good communication and a sound understanding of our body’s biomechanics. Being a people person, I love to communicate with others and make sure patients have a clear understanding of their condition, and are confident with management and exercising pain-free. Additionally, Lucy uses clinical pilates and weights training to optimise biomechanics, and enjoys working with a variety of different strengths and injuries with functional exercise.
Favourite Conditions to Treat:
Knees, ankles and hips
Having a past history of lower limb injuries personally in netball and running, I have first-hand experience as a patient managing my rehab. Also, working in AFL and netball settings has led me to finding more intrigue working with these areas!
What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
Surfing down at my local beach in Ocean grove with my best friends, hiking overseas and making jewellery for my small business.
What would be your personal motto?
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Who is someone you admire and why?
Frida Kahlo – Frida was a Mexican artist in the early 1930s. When she 6 years old she contracted Polio, which significantly affected her strength and development of her right leg. When she was 18 years old, she was involved in a fatal bus accident which broke almost every major bone in her body. Despite suffering with chronic pain and trauma, she was able to enjoy life through art, painting self portraits symbolising her struggles. Regardless of Frida’s adversity as a disabled female in Mexico in the 20th century, she is recognised as one of the world’s most decorated artists and womens activist of all time.
Your most-outstanding achievement:
Travelling to Nepal as a 19 year old solo, and hiking to Everest base camp.
