WHAT MAKES IRIS A GREAT PHYSIOTHERAPIST?

As a practitioner, Iris believes in working together with her patients to address their musculoskeletal injuries effectively.

With a unique combination of expertise in both chiropractic and physiotherapy, Iris takes a holistic approach to assessment and guidance. Utilizing manual therapy and personalized exercise prescription, she tailors treatments to each individual’s needs, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to rehabilitation.

WHAT DOES IRIS ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?

Ever since I moved to Queensland, I’ve loved going for walks on all the beautiful hiking trails around. I play badminton every week, and right now, I’m working on getting stronger by hitting the gym. Besides staying active, I really like cooking healthy meals and trying out different foods in town.
