Jillian Swan

Physiotherapist

 

About

Originally from a tiny island off the west coast of Canada, Jill feels right at home on the surf coast, now with better beaches and nicer weather!  Her life-long love of outdoor adventures and previous healthcare role eventually led her to a career in physiotherapy to help others work towards their health and activity goals.  Outside of the clinic, Jill is usually running or cycling along the coast, attempting to learn to surf, or catching up with friends and family.

 

Experience

Jill holds a Doctor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne, following a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology from the University of Victoria (Canada).  Her research interests focused on rural health and public health initiatives during her degrees.  Jill has gained a diverse clinical experience ranging from paediatrics to neurological rehabilitation, and has previously volunteered as an adaptive ski instructor for youth with physical and cognitive challenges and worked as a sports trainer for a rugby club.
