A Bit About Me
As a youngster, I was an elite athlete with her fair share of injuries, all seemingly treatment resistant! Curious about why some athletes were so much more prone to injury than others and why the treatment interventions weren't all that successful, I decided to embark upon a learning journey that continues today. Currently, my approach to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction takes a bio-psycho-social perspective, drawing from the works of UK Physiotherapist Joanne Elphinston and Australian Physiotherapist Robin Kerr. When we treat our patients, we treat the individual as a whole, not just the injury. When we look at the injury, we need to zoom out and ask ourselves, what is it about this persons motion that makes them vulnerable to injury? It's both an art and science and a field of work that's continuously evolving. Very grateful I entered this line of work back in 2006. It's so very rewarding.

I am both a client of and an industry colleague of Jac Grangien. Over the last 10 years it has been my privilege to train, study & work alongside Jac. The depth of her knowledge is unchallengeable and her keen eye for detail make her an excellent teacher & trainer. Jac also has an inquiring mind which leads her to strength in the area of Research & Development. A trainer with the calibre of Jac is a real asset to our industry.

I started seeing Jac as I was scared to go up and down stairs due to my knees being a bit reluctant to perform! I am in my early 50s and was concerned at what I would potentially be like as the years progressed. I also have scoliosis and haven't actively exercised for at least 12 years. Within a matter of weeks Jac had me doing squats, deeper than I had ever gone before. I was amazed at how retraining the brain worked - simply by applying different techniques to capture the same movement. I now bounce up and downstairs and am feeling much more confident in my body movement overall. This sort of exercise is remarkable in providing strength, toning, cardio and confidence.

Weakness due to a femoral neuropathy in one leg resulted in walking difficulty, instability and several falls. Medical feedback on a recovery was negative but a strong recommendation to consult Jac resulted in a flexible and achievable exercise program tailored to my needs. Her clear and optimistic understanding of my problem has enabled me ultimately to resume playing golf, daily walking and jogging with pleasure and confidence. I have great respect for her professional expertise and empathy and will always be extremely grateful.
