The physiotherapist who really listens

If you’ve been living with pain for a while — the kind that hasn’t gone away no matter what you’ve tried — you’ll know how exhausting it is to feel like nobody has quite got to the bottom of it.

Lella gets it. Not just professionally, but personally.

Having navigated her own injury setbacks as a competitive athlete, Lella understands from the inside what recovery really takes. That lived experience shapes the way she works with every patient who walks through the door — with patience, genuine understanding and a deep commitment to getting to the root of what’s really going on.

What to expect with Lella

Lella has a real gift for listening — and for getting to the heart of what’s actually brought you in. She takes the time to understand not just where it hurts, but the full story behind it. How long you’ve been managing it. What it’s stopped you from doing. What getting better would actually mean for your life.

Her special interest in persistent and chronic pain means she’s particularly skilled at working with patients who feel like they’ve tried everything. Her approach blends hands-on physiotherapy with Clinical Pilates and tailored exercise programs — always built around your body, your goals and your pace.

Her patients often say the same thing: “I finally feel like someone actually understands what I’ve been going through.”That’s exactly what Lella aims for, every time.

A little more about Lella

Lella previously represented Hong Kong in soccer at national level and still plays and trains regularly — so she knows firsthand what the commitment to recovery looks and feels like. She’s also lived in Hong Kong, travelled extensively through Europe and loves exploring Melbourne’s live music scene. Her warmth, curiosity and worldliness come through in everything she does.
