Hi, I’m Vandana. I am a trusted physiotherapist with over 12 years of experience. Practicing in metropolitan and rural settings across Western Australia and the Northern Territory has provided me with unique opportunities to meet and help people from various cultures and backgrounds. Having experience in many physiotherapy disciplines in both public and private practice allows me to effectively diagnose and treat your condition - no matter where you are on life’s journey. Since completing my degree in Physiotherapy at Curtin University in 2009, I continually seek opportunities to up-skill myself in physiotherapy, leadership and management. In 2022, I completed a Certificate in Spinal Manual Therapy, enabling me to use a current, evidence-based and comprehensive approach to the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain disorders. My approach is tailored to suit your individual needs. I will explain your condition and treatment to you so you can feel empowered through the healing process. I am an understanding and caring person with a sensitive approach. You can be assured of a positive and nurturing experience as we work through your issues. I am committed to understanding your issues and improving your quality of life. I am committed to providing you with a personalised, effective and caring treatment. Understanding your needs, abilities, preferences and health goals is vital to creating an individualised treatment plan. My ‘hands on’ approach also promotes preventative care, not a ‘fix-and-go' method. I focus on education - explaining your condition to you, its causes, treatment and prevention. Holistic means considering all aspects of one’s health, and not just one. While physiotherapists are experts in treating the physical, understanding social and psychological aspects can be vital to revealing and addressing the root of an issue.
