Physiotherapist Alicia Frey on Helping Patients Get Back to What They Love

For physiotherapist Alicia Frey, the best part of the job is seeing people regain their confidence, and their activities, after injury.

I love what I do because I love seeing people being able to achieve their goals. After an injury, getting them back to what they love and what their passion is, I think it's nice to be along that journey with the client, and get to the end together.

Part of a multidisciplinary team

We see everyone and everything here, from littlies right up to the oldies. There's no typical patient. Everyone is treated as an individual. There's no simple recipe to treat everyone with. We really look at what's important to that person, and that helps guide what we need to do to get them back to what they enjoy doing.

An integrated approach

We work closely with a lot of the orthopaedic specialists, the allied health team, imaging, and nursing staff. We all work as a big team to try to facilitate a really quick and effective diagnosis and management strategy so that people can get back to doing what they want as quickly as possible.

Outside work Alicia stays active herself, training at the gym, running or taking her dog to the beach, and also appreciates quiet time with a good book.
