Meet The South City Physio Team

South City Physio has been helping people by providing exceptional care to achieve great outcomes for over 29 years. Our clients come from all walks of life, all ages and from all over Brisbane, Australia and even internationally. We work with you to thoroughly address your pain /problem and present a diagnosis and a plan for your best recovery and most importantly help you return to what important to you. We also believe better care includes teaching good physical health habits in the hope we don’t have to manage problems/injuries later.

We understand you and your body and health concerns are completely unique. We will take time to listen and understand your problem, apply our extensive and evidence based knowledge to help you get the results you are looking for.

We strive to offer value in your health care here making sure we look to solving the issue and having your moving more freely.

We also look at the bigger picture, and for us to achieve our vision of better care for our clients we believe passionately in mentoring the next generation of physiotherapists. We work to instill a love of learning and utilising the current science into their care. We have an expectation of excellence in physiotherapy care and we help them develop excellent manual skills.

Lara Elger

Working in musculoskeletal physiotherapy clinics within Brisbane and the UK for over a decade, has allowed me to develop my skills as a clinician. I really enjoy helping people to achieve their goals towards positive health and wellbeing and optimal lifestyle management. Our knowledge of injury and pain is forever expanding in the scientific context of physiotherapy. It is fulfilling to apply this knowledge to assist my patients to improve pain and to achieve their personal goals.

Pauline Mukamulenzi

I have a passion for musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy using a bio-psychosocial model to guide treatment. This holistic approach allows me to address the physical aspects as well as the psychological and social factors that may impact recovery. I create personalised, evidence-based care plans tailored to meet individual needs, whether recovering from injury, surgery or managing chronic conditions. I am dedicated to empowering my patients through personalised care plans that focus on immediate recovery and long- term  wellness.

Daniel Jang

I used to be a dancer (Urban Hip Hop) and being a dancer sparked a natural interest in injury, prevention, and pain management due to all of my injuries.

Physiotherapy is my passion and my mission is to get to the bottom of what is happening to your body to find the best treatment plan and implement them day 1.

I like using a mix of hands-on Physiotherapy with exercise during my sessions.

I love using movement and exercise as a tool for self efficacy and long-term management.

Outside of the clinic you might bump into me at the gym, I usually dry needle myself on the weekends.
