Kirstie Hempsall
Physiotherapy Team Leader
I am a friendly and experienced Physiotherapist who moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2013.
I like to provide evidence-based exercise and manual therapy approaches for my clients.
Areas of Expertise
- General Rehabilitation: including interventions and manual therapy for clients who are active in the community, who wish to maintain their level of independence, and prevent decline in mobility and balance
- Neurological Rehabilitation: including interventions for acquired brain injuries such as Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson;s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor neuron disease, Huntington’s Disease, and other rare neurological conditions
- Musculoskeletal Treatment: including treatment for acute or chronic injuries sustained to the musculoskeletal system involving education and manual therapy
Approach to Therapy
My approach emphasises evidence-backed exercise and manual therapy to boost client confidence and strength while educating to alleviate fears of injury or pain. I prioritise both physical challenges and fun during sessions, ensuring each appointment is rewarding and engaging.
Outside the Clinic
Outside of work I thoroughly enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with friends and my family and the occasional glass of wine!
