A keen young athlete, Phoebe often found herself injured and needing the assistance of physiotherapists to allow her to return to sport. This sparked her interest and passion in the field of Sports Physiotherapy. Upon graduation from the University of Newcastle, Phoebe presented her research — Predisposing risk factors for Hamstring and Quadriceps muscle strain injuries — at both national and international conferences, including the World Congress of Physical Therapy, Australian Physiotherapy Conference and Sports Medicine Australia Conference.
Phoebe's Sports Physiotherapy journey has led her to working with the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia, where she has travelled with the Aerials Program and Paralympic Alpine Programs, to World Championships and World Cup Series.
Phoebe is currently the Lead Physiotherapist with West Coast Fever Netball Team and in previous years was Lead Physiotherapist for Subiaco Lions WAFL Club, Western Roar WANL Club, Eastern Suns NBL1 Club & Newcastle Knights Junior Program.
Following her own concussions, Phoebe has a special interest in Concussion assessment and is the Clinical Lead for the Western Australia Concussion Network.
