APA Victorian Branch Physiotherapy Achievement Award 2026
In July 2026, I was honoured and humbled to receive the APA Victorian Branch Physiotherapy Achievement Award – Contribution to the Profession at the Victorian Branch Winter Breakfast. The introduction reflected my work across neurological physiotherapy, research, education and professional leadership, particularly my commitment to helping rehabilitation clinicians use brain imaging to improve assessment, treatment planning and patient [...]
So You Can Look at Brain Images – How Does this Change Your Clinical Practice?
Many rehabilitation clinicians look at brain imaging, but still wonder how much it could change what they do clinically. This short video series explores how brain imaging can become a practical clinical reasoning tool in neurorehabilitation. The focus is not diagnosis. It is understanding what the lesion means for function, recovery, clinical decisions and more targeted rehabilitation. [...]
Similar Symptoms, Different Brain Scans: Clinical Reasoning in Neurorehabilitation
Clinical reasoning in neurorehabilitation guides every treatment decision clinicians make. Yet different clinicians may look at the same neurological presentation and arrive at very different conclusions. Why does this happen? Often, it comes down to the clinical reasoning model being used. In the video below, I discuss three clinical cases where patients presented with similar neurological symptoms, but [...]
Meningitis and Hydrocephalus Explained
Understanding Meningitis and Hydrocephalus: Why Brain Imaging Matters Meningitis and hydrocephalus are distinct yet often interconnected neurological conditions. For patients/clients and clinicians alike, recognising when both are present and distinguishing between them is essential for timely, accurate treatment and improved recovery outcomes. This page brings together clinical and brain imaging insights from my extensive experience in [...]
Making Sense of Brain Imaging for Complex Cases:
How Brain Imaging Supports Accurate Assessment and Personalised Rehab Here, we explore how brain imaging for complex cases can bridge the gap between clinical presentation and accurate assessment. You’ll see how a deeper analysis of brain scans in context of function can help guide clearer clinical decision-making and more effective rehabilitation. Clinical deterioration with no obvious cause can [...]
