Ashley is an experienced physiotherapist who graduated from Stellenbosch University, South Africa in 2010. Ashley went on to complete her-graduate Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) training in 2013 and was awarded the top case study for the year.

She is an empathetic and compassionate physio who works closely with her patients to get the best results and help them with their healing journey. Ashley enjoys treating neck and sacroiliac dysfunctions, post-mastectomy patients, and since becoming a mum of two littles, she has a special passion for working with women during pregnancy and during their post-partum recovery.

Outside of work, Ashley enjoys spending time outdoors with her family.

Ashley is available for physiotherapy appointments at our Caloundra and Kawana clinics.

Mitchell completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at the University of Queensland in Brisbane where he began his career working in private practice seeing a variety of clinical presentations. After moving around Queensland throughout his life – from Weipa in Far North Queensland to Toowoomba in the Darling Downs – he couldn’t be more excited to call the Sunshine Coast his new home.

Mitchell has always had a passion for sport. This has translated into his career as he holds a strong interest in treating sports and exercise related injuries – particularly ankles and shoulders. Mitchell applies his communication skills to show his care for patient wellbeing; his empathetic nature and willingness to go above and beyond ensures a positive outcome for his patients.

Mitchell is driven towards continuously improving his skills and takes great care that all of his patients leave each session with a clear understanding of their specialised treatment plan to best achieve their goals.

Outside of work, Mitchell loves watching sport, running, travelling, playing board games and going fishing and camping.

Mitchell is available for Physiotherapy appointments at our Caloundra and Kawana locations.
