Isabel Thomas

Isabel graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Physiotherapy Practice. Originally from Warragul, she has gained broad experience across private practice, paediatric, dance and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, working with clients ranging from children through to active adults and athletic populations.

Isabel enjoys treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and sporting conditions, with a particular focus on helping clients build strength, improve movement and return confidently to the activities they love. Her approach combines hands-on treatment, education and progressive exercise rehabilitation, with each program tailored to the individual’s goals, lifestyle and stage of recovery.

She has extensive experience and a strong passion for Clinical Pilates, incorporating Pilates-based exercise into rehabilitation to improve strength, mobility, balance, coordination and movement control. Isabel believes exercise should be both effective and enjoyable, and likes to make Pilates and rehabilitation fun, engaging and relevant to each client, whether that means adapting exercises around their favourite activities, sporting goals or everyday needs.

Having previously trained in dance and ballet, Isabel has a particular interest in dance physiotherapy and understands the unique physical demands of dancers. Her experience in dance-specific physiotherapy has allowed her to work with dancers of different ages and levels, supporting injury rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, movement quality and a safe return to training and performance.

Isabel also has experience working with paediatric clients, as well as active and athletic populations, giving her a varied clinical skill set and an adaptable approach to treatment. She takes a warm and individualised approach, working collaboratively with her clients to help them understand their condition and take an active role in their recovery.

Outside of the clinic, Isabel enjoys Pilates, keeping active, cooking, travelling and exploring Melbourne’s restaurants and cafes.

Isabel is at Kinematics Monday to Friday.
