In 2021 Zoe completed her Master’s in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from LaTrobe University, and was awarded recognition as a Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist from the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA).

Running is Zoe’s happy place, and she has completed post-graduate training in running physiotherapy as well as felt the pain of running injuries herself!

Zoe has a calm and considerate approach and is passionate about empowering her patients with knowledge and understanding, tailoring her approach to each unique individual.
