REVIVE - Key Persons
Amy is a graduate from the Queensland University of Technology Class of 2021 with a Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Amy's key values in being a great Exercise Physiologist stem from her love to help people grow and learn over a period of kicking health and wellness goals.
A key aspect in her approach is implementing education about exercise and chronic disease to ensure her patients have a great overall understanding of their health and how their goals are shaping them to be the best version of themselves. Amy comes from Mackay originally and found her love for sport and exercise from a young age, but especially after climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with her dad when she was in Grade 11.
The commitment to training for such a physically demanding task saw her and her father become their fittest selves, managing injuries and comorbidities. This inspired an eagerness in Amy to help people use exercise as a great tool to generally improve quality of life and functionality.
Seven years and a degree in Exercise Physiology later, Amy loves exercise and wellness more every day and always has something to work towards. Amy has also an extensive sporting history, with competitive experience in Volleyball, Basketball, Netball and Golf. She loves to use her sporting knowledge to help rehabilitate injuries or improve overall sporting performance. You'll usually find Amy out on the golf course, enjoying a home cooked meal with friends or family or watching the NRL.
Bethany recently graduated from James Cook University in Townsville in 2021. She is originally from Mackay and after spending majority of my life in North Queensland, Bethany decided to start her journey as a physio in Brisbane at the start of 2022.
Previously, Bethany has worked with people with disabilities of all ages to engage in functional exercise that is meaningful to them to aid in improving both their physical and mental health. She aims to provide her patients with the tools, confidence and strategies to take an active approach in their recovery or condition management. Whilst Bethany aspires to be a well-versed generalist physio, particular areas of interest for Bethany include women's health and chronic pain.
Bethany has played a number of sports throughout her life, including netball, AFL, volleyball, rugby sevens, ballet, and athletics. So, she understands the effect that sport-related injuries can have on individuals so is really passionate about returning players to their sport of choice as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Outside of work, Bethany keeps busy in the gym, rugged up in bed with a good book, taking her paddle board to the beach or getting her hands dirty in the garden.
