Joy graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2005. Since then, she has worked across the whole spectrum of physiotherapy specialties, constantly learning and gaining new skills with each new role. Starting out in hospitals and gaining some great foundational skills, she moved into private musculoskeletal practice and aged care, as well as working with a local sports team as their team physio before eventually starting her own private practice. Her love for learning and growth eventually took her into the world of paediatrics and disability, where she has been for the past 14 years.

Joy has special interests in hydrotherapy, rehabilitation and gait training, developmental delays, equipment, serial casting, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and cerebral palsy. She has also spent the last 2 years branching out into adult disability and rehabilitation and is a certified lokomat and armeo trainer. Joy also works with the University of Adelaide Physiotherapy Department, helping to teach and train future physiotherapy students.

On the weekends, you can often find Joy taxi-ing her 3 children to sports games and playdates or cooking up a storm in the kitchen (she loves to cook and bake) with the music turned up or trying out a new restaurant with her foodie barista husband.
