Welcome to the world, Lachlan!
We have some exciting news from the St Leonards Physio family
Chris and his wife, Ellen, have welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Lachlan, into the world. While he may have a little while to go before he’s leading any physio classes like Dad, he’s already fitting right in at home with his two doting big sisters, Olivia and Jaymie. Congratulations to the whole family on this wonderful addition!
Our team gets festive!
The St Leonards Physio team recently celebrated the season in style!
Our Christmas party was full of laughter, holiday cheer, and a little friendly competition over who could pull off the most festive outfit – from Santa hats to sparkly headbands.
It was a fantastic way to reflect on the year, and enjoy some fun together. Check out our festive snaps on Instagram and Facebook… who do you think nailed the Christmas look?

Goodbye to Requel
After 12 years of helping clients and their families, we say goodbye and thank you to Requel.
We’re so sad to be saying goodbye to one of our wonderful physios, Requel.
Requel says, “It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside this exceptional team for the past 12 years. Throughout this time, I have grown both professionally and personally, and I will always be grateful for the knowledge, experience, and support I have gained.
While this decision has not been an easy one, I feel it is the right time to take the next step in my professional journey.”
Requel’s last day in clinic is Friday 19th December, and will finish up at St Leonards Physio on Tues 23rd December. All Requel’s clients will be well looked after, and your care will continue as usual with our team. We will miss Requel, and wish her all the best in her next adventure.
