Physiotherapy offers me a journey to travel with people into their lives, to help overcome physical conditions which prevent them in achieving their best.
It started with my understanding of pain and how devastating such an invisible intruder can be on people’s lives.
Creating Physio Gym and working with my team has allowed me to build the pathways for rehabilitation and wellness for many physical diseases, injuries and disabilities. The experiences I have shared with my patients has taught me the importance of how physiotherapy can shape their lives for the better.

BAS (Sports and Exercise)
My passion for health and fitness started from a young age as I was involved in a range of sports growing up including soccer, competitive swimming and athletics. As a teenager I suffered a knee injury which resulted in me requiring surgery followed by a long period of rehabilitation. I enjoyed seeing the gradual improvements in my condition and the results of my hard work throughout the rehabilitation process.
I studied Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Sydney to explore my passion for exercise and fitness, before completing a master’s degree in Physiotherapy in 2016. I have since worked in private practice and spent several years living and practicing in the UK. At Physio Gym I enjoy helping people to become stronger and more confident versions of themselves and have a passion for getting patients stronger through strength training. I enjoy teaching group classes aimed at improving muscle mass and strength, bone density and overall body composition. I firmly believe in a combination of manual therapy (hands-on treatment), exercise prescription and patient education to achieve the most optimal results.
Outside of physiotherapy, I enjoy spending time being active and being outdoors, with a passion for lifting weights, hiking, spending time at the beach and travelling!

Master of Physiotherapy
I am an enthusiastic and energetic physiotherapist that enjoys talking and helping my patients to recover from injury. I originally started my studies in China to understand the science of sports and rehabilitation. I then travelled to Australia to purse my passion for Physiotherapy Rehabilitation and completed my Master Degree at The Sydney University. I firmly believe in rehabilitation through manual therapy, exercises and guidance to help people to return to activities and stay active. At Physio Gym I enjoy teaching group classes and working hard to get your best results with personalised care. Outside of Physiotherapy, I really enjoy
Deepa Anand
Practice Manager.
BPT. (Physiotherapy)
Deepa became a Physiotherapist in India (2002) working as a Clinician and then as Head Physiotherapist in 2007 in hospitals. She then focused on her skills to manage the daily running of a cardiovascular hospital in Faridabad.
In 2017, Deepa and her family had the opportunity to move to Australia. With this new step, she unfortunately could not practice as a physiotherapist and continued working in a variety of health institutes. Throughout her life her fathers words always stood true to her “that education and hard work will never fail you in life.”
Today, Deepa carries forwards that belief and builds on it with her own experiences and values. She is glad to be working at Physio Gym where she can give her one hundred percent to the work that she has chosen as her life profession. Once again, Deepa can experience that moment with our patients when they move and gain their vitality back in their lives again with the benefit of a good rehabilitation process.
