After graduating as a physiotherapist, Anastasia undertook post-graduate study in the three main areas of physiotherapy that she was most passionate about, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, spinal physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy. An active runner, cyclist and swimmer herself, she wanted to extend her knowledge and skills in these three areas to provide to her patients (from elite athletes to people from all walks of life), the highest quality of care based on the latest scientific research.

With over 28 years of clinical experience in private practice and sports injuries clinics in Ottawa (Canada), Chatswood, Artarmon, Northern beaches and over 15 years in Collaroy, she is well known for her hands on treatment and finding the source of the pain! She has enjoyed spending many hours covering Community Sporting Events, City to Surf, Hawkesbury Canoe classic, National Games Ottawa, Canada and Paralympics Sydney 2000. She was Honorary Physio for Chatswood Rugby Club for many years and has worked with local cricket and basketball teams.

Anastasia has a special interest in and enjoys treating acute and chronic neck and back pain, including complex conditions, shoulder, knee, ankle/foot pain and sporting injuries. She combines her knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and extensive experience to provide a thorough assessment and diagnosis, followed by a one on one hands on treatment specifically tailored to your condition. This is done with a holistic approach, ensuring quick recovery and no endless treatments.

Anastasia has worked extensively with patients from all age groups, adults, adolescents and children. She has also worked extensively in orthopaedics, pre and post surgical rehabilitation and occupational health. Anastasia uses manual therapy(mobilisations/manipulation) to regain joint movement and soft tissue massage, muscle release to correct the biomechanics and combines this with muscle strengthening ,stretching and muscle re-education to maintain the improved movement. This also includes balance exercises, core strengthening and posture correction and education to help prevent further injuries.

When she is not working Anastasia enjoys travelling, going to the beach, gym, swimming, cycling and walking around and enjoying the beautiful Northern Beaches!

  • Neville (Collaroy)

    “ Anastasia has treated my shoulder and neck issues, which has meant that I am still able to work without having surgery. I am very appreciative of her knowledge and abilities as a physiotherapist. ”

  • Ellen (Collaroy)

    “ For many years Anastasia has kept my neck mobile and helped me remain pain free. I have followed her through a couple of practices and have always received great care and concern not always afforded to chronic pain sufferers. Her thorough examination, diagnosis and superior hands on treatment are just what keeps me going along with my exercise program. Too many physios rely on machines rather than take the time to treat the individual need of their patient. I recommend Anastasia wholeheartedly as a brilliant and caring physiotherapist. “
