Meet KIRRILY

Kirrily Careedy

Senior Physiotherapist

Practice Principal

​

“After 30 years in practice as a physio, I still feel so blessed to do the work that I do. We meet so many wonderful people, with such amazing life experiences and stories to tell. It is very humbling to have these people trust you with their troubles and to work with them, guiding their way to recovery. The human body is such a fascinating subject, and I continue to learn something new almost every day”.

​

When it comes to clinical fields of interest, Kirrily is renowned for her love of ‘a tricky problem’ – the chronic, complex and unusual presentations – especially when it relates to spinal or pelvic problems. A relentless focus on finding the source of a problem and working with each individual to achieve the best possible clinical outcome is fundamental to her approach. Be prepared for homework, as Kirrily will make you captain of your own recovery effort, providing explanation and education to empower your effort throughout.

​

Complimentary to her general physiotherapy skillset, Kirrily is a Certified DMA Clinical Pilates Practitioner. She spent a number of years teaching at a national level through Dance Medicine Australia and remains invested in the education of the future generation of healthcare therapists in this field and beyond.

 

An ongoing thirst for knowledge led Kirrily to undertake a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology (completed with Distinction 2022) followed by a Masters of Medical Statistics (completed with Distinction in 2023).  She is currently developing plans for further research while maintaining her work in the clinic.
