Experience and background

Clare’s clinical thinking is built around load management — understanding how much an injured tissue can tolerate, and how to build that capacity back up safely. It’s an approach shaped by more than a decade in high-performance sport.

She has held roles as Senior Academy and Second XI Physiotherapist at the WACA, Head Physiotherapist for the Women’s Western Force, and physiotherapist to the Perry Lakes Lady Hawks in the Women’s State Basketball League. She has travelled with WA state junior rugby sevens and basketball teams to national tournaments, including medal-winning campaigns, and worked with the Western Force men’s program.

Alongside her degrees, Clare has completed postgraduate training in lower limb tendinopathy management, sporting hip and groin injuries, running injury assessment and management, ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning, dry needling, hand and finger injury assessment, and Level 2 and 3 pitchside immediate care.
