Nerissa’s interest in physiotherapy began after experiencing multiple injuries growing up. Being in and out of clinics sparked her curiosity about how the body heals and inspired her to help others return to what they love.

Nerissa uses dry needling, VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo for data-driven rehab, taping, and shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon injuries.

She enjoys treating everyone, regardless of age, fitness, or background.

Patients can expect a thorough, personalised approach focused on understanding their goals, hands-on treatment, and education in a supportive environment.

Outside work, you can find Nerissa training for her first full marathon, playing tennis, smiling at your dog, and trying to keep up with all her downloaded podcasts.
