Lachie Kelly

Physiotherapist

 

About

Lachie grew up in Melbourne, participating in a variety of sports, including basketball, soccer, tennis, athletics, and cross-country. He always enjoyed his visits to the physiotherapist to rehab his many sport-related injuries. The benefits these consultations had on his recovery, well-being, and return to activity inspired him to provide the same support to others by becoming a physiotherapist himself.

Living by the Surf Coast had always appealed to Lachie, so at the start of 2025, he made the move. Here, you might find him in the surf, completing a trail run, or on the hunt for the next best cappuccino, while of course, finding time on the weekends to support his beloved Melbourne Demons.

​

Experience

After receiving his Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2024 from La Trobe University, Lachie has enjoyed treating a variety of musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiovascular conditions in both the private practice and sports settings. Currently, Lachie is the physiotherapist for the Old Xavier U19S VAFA football team, with previous involvement with the Melbourne City Soccer Academy.
