Tonya is a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with a particular interest in low back pain. She also works with neck and upper back pain, hip and knee pain, and shoulder conditions. She has worked in both private practice and public hospitals, treating everything from acute injuries through to rehabilitation after surgery.

Before physiotherapy, Tonya completed an honours degree in Contemporary Dance at London Contemporary Dance School and went on to perform professionally as a ballet dancer. She then ran her own Pilates studio in the UK for six years and taught Pilates to physiotherapists with APPI. That background gives her a deep understanding of movement, and a lasting affinity for dancers and performing artists. During her studies she also gained work experience with The Australian Ballet.

Tonya completed her undergraduate physiotherapy degree at Monash University and her Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at La Trobe University in 2022.
