Rowena is a physiotherapist with over 30 years’ experience in both private practice and as a rehabilitation consultant. She has worked extensively in occupational rehabilitation, assisting injured workers to return to their jobs. Rowena has a professional interest in chronic pain management over the last few years and is keen to assist clients that historically have had limited options and may have been poorly managed. Her PhD investigated the use of nutritional therapy for chronic pain, so she now incorporates her role as a nutritionist with her physiotherapy expertise.
