SHERWOOD – SPECIALTY CLINICS

 

In 2007 Allsports Physiotherapy Indooroopilly expanded its services to establish two specialty clinics situated together in one brand new facility at 3/659 Sherwood Road at Sherwood. The clinic is conveniently located opposite Woolworths and The Coffee Club on Sherwood Road and is within short walking distance of public transport. There is easy parking on the street or on site.

Allsports Pilates Sherwood on the upper level is a fully equipped, air conditioned Pilates studio offering a range of individual or group Pilates sessions. The classes are conducted and supervised by Pilates trained physiotherapists and therefore are eligible for rebate under most levels of health insurance cover. The clinical pilates programs are designed by a physiotherapist following a thorough assessment and real time ultrasound testing.  All programs are individualised to achieve the best possible outcome. 

Allsports Paediatrics offers physiotherapy services exclusively to children. (0-18yrs).  Our aim is to optimise your child’s physical development and functional performance from infancy through to adulthood. 

Our aim is to create a fun, dynamic environment for children so they may enjoy programs specifically designed to optimise their physical development.

Elise Alexander

 

Elise initially joined the Allsports Physiotherapy team in 2005 whilst still a student at the University of Queensland.  After graduating as a Physiotherapist, she accepted a position co-located at the Indooroopilly and Sherwood clinics where she was treating both adult musculoskeletal and paediatric populations. Since 2010 she has been able to pursue her passion in paediatric Physiotherapy, working full time at Allsports Paediatrics at Sherwood.

As part of her role, Elise also works one day a week at Glenleighden School in Fig Tree Pocket - a school for children with primary speech disorders. There she is enjoying the opportunity to work within a multi-disciplinary team to provide the best outcomes for children with special needs. She has found it very rewarding to see the benefits of Physiotherapy in not only improving a child’s physical ability and self-esteem, but also translating to improvements in other areas of life such as fine motor, speech and social skills.

Elise has a vested interest in postural awareness, especially within the adolescent population. She has experience treating teenagers, especially those with posturally-related neck and back pain or scoliosis. Last year, she was involved in the introduction of a Pilates-based HCK ™ class to specifically target these patients. She is confident that promoting good postural habits early in life will help to prevent the occurrence of ongoing neck or back pain in adulthood.

 

Kajal Patel

Kajal has always had a passion for working with children.  She graduated from the University of Queensland with a Masters in Physiotherapy Studies and also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, from the University of Alberta, in Canada. 

Kajal has experience with musculoskeletal injuries working on the field with junior (6-21yrs) rugby league teams.  Her areas of interest include musculoskeletal management, injury prevention and developmental exercise prescription.

Kajal previously worked as the Children’s Activity Coordinator for the University of Alberta, organising a variety of sports including wall climbing, fitness programming, swimming and gymnastics for children 4-18 years of age.  She developed and implemented a Fun and Fitness initiative for primary school children stressing the importance of physical activity and healthy nutritional practices. She also has a keen interest in sports and recreation and has gained valuable experience in exercise prescription and healthy lifestyle management as a Kinesiologist and certified personal trainer working with both adult and paediatric populations. 

Kajal strongly believes that all children should have the opportunity to participate in physical activities and is excited to be involved in helping children achieve this goal. 

Kristy Walker (nee Graham)                

Kristy joined Allsports Physiotherapy in 2005 after graduating from Griffith University with a double degree in physiotherapy and exercise science.  Kristy has been in private practice for 7 years and has done further training in Clinical pilates through Dance Medicine Australia and Studio Pilates International.  She now combines her expertise in physiotherapy, pilates and exercise science to specialise in the instruction of Clinical Pilates.

 

Kristy is the managing partner in the new Pilates clinic Allsports Pilates Sherwood and presents at our Allsports clinical education programs and for the students of Griffith University and The University of Queensland.
