Rhiana began her physiotherapy journey through dance, originally training in ballet and considering a professional dance career before transitioning into physiotherapy after experiencing firsthand the value of rehabilitation and exercise therapy following dance injuries herself.

Since then, Rhiana has worked across a range of private physiotherapy settings, supporting people through everything from acute injuries and orthopaedic rehabilitation to persistent pain, hypermobility conditions, and complex chronic presentations. She has a particular interest in working with people living with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders, EDS, POTS, chronic pain, fatigue, and deconditioning, and understands the importance of balancing movement, pacing, nervous system regulation, strength, and confidence-building in rehabilitation.

Rhiana is passionate about meeting people where they are and creating an affirming, collaborative environment where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their rehab journey. Her approach combines evidence-informed treatment, movement rehabilitation, and plenty of encouragement — helping people gradually rebuild trust in their bodies and return to the activities that matter most to them.

With her background in dance and Pilates, Rhiana particularly enjoys helping dancers, hypermobile individuals, and people who may have previously had difficult or invalidating healthcare experiences feel safe and confident moving again.

When she’s not at work, Rhiana loves reading, baking elaborate pastries (including two-day croissants from scratch!), spending time with her four guinea pigs and two cats, and going dancing with her partner at LGBTIQA+ club nights, especially the themed ones (she loves a Country or Disco Night).
