3. Kristina Kluz – Torquay Sports Medicine Centre
Specialties: Foot & ankle pain, knee & hip issues, running injuries, instability & hypermobility, shoulder & neck injuries
Kristina Kluz brings a global perspective to her physiotherapy practice with over ten years of experience across Austria, Japan, and Australia. Originally drawn to treating adventure sports injuries while chasing snow seasons in her twenties, Kristina now enjoys helping athletes and everyday clients recover from a variety of injuries.
From footballers to triathletes, runners, and office workers, Kristina takes a holistic approach to treatment, with a particular interest in foot, ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder injuries. She’s also a go-to for managing running injuries and helping people return to their favourite activities after injury.
In 2023, Kristina and her fiancé moved to Torquay to embrace a balanced, outdoor lifestyle. When she's not treating clients, you can find her surfing, running, kayaking, or planning her next snow trip to Hotham or New Zealand. Fun fact: Kristina has recently taken up keeping quails and is open to any tips from fellow poultry enthusiasts!
4. Catya Josephides – Evolutio Sports Physio & HomeRun
Specialties: Complex injuries, shoulder & hip rehab, running-related injuries, contact sports
Catya Josephides is a rare gem in the world of physio, reminding you of that warm feeling when you first heard Savage Garden sing "Truly, Madly, Deeply." Intelligent, compassionate, and always learning alongside her patients, Catya is the Talent Academy Physio at Carlton FC, the Head Physio at Tullamarine FC, and the go-to physio for Hampton Rovers FC.
Catya thrives on tackling complex injuries, especially those involving shoulders, hips, and running-related issues. With a knack for pre- and post-op care, plus a deep understanding of hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, she’s the physio to go to for getting back to your best.
When she’s not in the clinic, Catya is keeping athletes from burning out and guiding them to new heights — while she’s probably got a Savage Garden track playing in the background. Seriously, if you’ve got an injury, Catya’s the one to see.
5. Ashley Lynch – Foundry Athletic
Specialties: Elite sports rehab, ACL injuries, high-performance programming
With a decade in elite sport, Ashley Lynch has seen more ACLs than most physios have had hot dinners. Formerly Head of Rehabilitation at Essendon Football Club (AFL) and Head Physio at Western United (A-League), Ash now brings that same elite-level care and clinical precision to clients at Foundry Athletic and Align Health Collective.
Known for his surgical knowledge, hands-on approach, and ruthless obsession with good rehab programming, Ashley helps everyone from weekend warriors to pro athletes get back to peak performance — and often better than before.
6. Gemma Mollenhauer – Ciclo Melbourne
Specialties: Cycling injuries, sports performance, RED-S in female athletes
Gemma is a physio by profession and a cycling weapon by passion. When she’s not treating injuries at Evolutio or Ciclo, she’s racing crits, gravel, track, or cyclocross with Duda Cycling. A former journalist turned physio (with Honours, no less), Gem's research into energy deficiency in elite female cyclists fuels her mission to help women train smart and race strong.
With experience as both an athlete and clinician, she bridges the gap between performance and recovery — and yes, she can probably fix your bike and your back. If she’s not hacking hormones for peak sports output, she’s likely baking something dangerously good.
7. Andy Chalmers – Evolutio Sports Physio Richmond
Specialties: ACL rehab, post-surgical recovery, high-performance sport
Andy Chalmers might just be the nicest physio this side of Kansas — and he’s got the clinical chops to back it up. With experience at Crystal Palace in the Premier League and a strong background in musculoskeletal and high-performance rehab, Andy specialises in surgical recovery (especially knees and ACLs) and getting clients back to full strength with no shortcuts.
Currently wrapping up his double Masters in High-Performance Sport and Sports Physio, Andy brings a globally informed, research-driven approach to every rehab plan. His style is detailed, hands-on, and deeply focused on long-term results — perfect for athletes and everyday legends alike.
8. Yomitha Navaratne – South Melbourne Sports Physio
Specialties: Sports injuries, exercise rehab, strength training
Yomitha (Yomi) combines clinical expertise with lived experience as a former state-level tennis and cricket player. A La Trobe grad, he’s worked across hospitals, sports clubs, and private practice, treating everything from post-op rehab to sideline sprains.
Known for his active, goal-driven approach, Yomi blends hands-on treatment with strength-based rehab to get clients not just back on track — but ahead of where they were. When he’s not lifting something heavy or chasing a tennis ball, you’ll find him exploring Melbourne’s food scene or making music.
9. Phill Danzi – Evolutio Sports Physio Richmond
Specialties: Olympic lifting, CrossFit rehab, ACL injuries
With over eight years of elite-level experience, Phill is considered one of Australia’s leading physiotherapists for Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit athletes, and ACL rehabilitation.

Phill’s deep knowledge of high-performance rehab makes him a sought-after mentor for emerging practitioners.
