One of Brisbane’s Leading Sports Physiotherapists
Liza is one of only 11 Specialist Sports and Exercise Physiotherapists in Queensland and only about 45 Australia wide.
Paddington Physiotherapy is the right choice to come to for sports injuries in Brisbane. With a highly qualified team we are always here to treat elite athletes as well as those looking to get back into casual fitness post-injury.
Liza specialises in lower limb injuries that commonly occur in recreational athletes and in particular long distance runners. Liza also has extensive experience in the treatment of conditions and injuries obtained in contact and collision sports (such as Rugby Union, Rugby League and Soccer). Liza became an APA Sports Physiotherapist after completing her Masters and then went on to successfully complete the arduous specialisation exams with the Australian College of Physiotherapists, which earnt her Fellowship. Liza has been a facilitator, which is like a tutor, for the Australian College of Physiotherapists working with cohorts of APA Sports Physiotherapists from Queensland and from Canberra whilst they undertook their specialisation training programme to become Specialist Sports Physiotherapists. She is now assisting in the development of new Facilitators and consulting to the Australian College of Physiotherapists Board of Censors.
You might need to see our Specialist Sports Physio, Liza, if you have had a condition for a long time, if you have seen other Physios or other Practitioners and not had success, or if you have multiple conditions that seem related for example foot pain, pulled hamstring, neck pain and knee pain.
What To Do Immediately After A Sports Injury
For urgent matters, call 07 3511 6352 rather than emailing the practice. But call 000 in a medical emergency.
Endeavour to get a diagnosis as quickly as possible – try to make the next available physio appointment. If it is painful to bear weight on the injury – don’t. Our physio is located close to the Brisbane CBD and are available Monday to Friday for fast and flexible bookings.
Whilst waiting, ice with a covering to protect your skin or a compression bandage may be useful depending on the type of injury.
Paddington Physio can provide tape to protect the injury or prescribe a splint, a sling, or crutches to help your recovery. Your physio will decide whether you should have X-rays or other investigations or scans.
What Sports Injuries Do You See?
Our physiotherapists have all worked with many different types of athletes and have an active background in sports which make them the perfect team to consult with for your sport injuries. We have been involved in the provision of onsite medical coverage in and around Brisbane for rugby union, rugby league, soccer, AFL, volleyball, hockey, rodeo, touch football, gridiron, water polo, triathlon, distance running, athletics and even referees!
