about

The Bodyworker Physiotherapy is Prue Liebig.

Prue’s journey towards physiotherapy began with a discovery of exercise and fitness, which fuelled her fascination with how the body works and kick started her career as a qualified health and fitness coach. 

Then tragedy struck.

Prue’s husband suffered a life-threatening brain aneurysm. Prue suddenly found herself in a full-time role, negotiating a health system that failed at many levels to communicate and provide any guidance towards recovery, or even what to expect. As a result, Prue’s family faced years navigating through an unpredictable and unprecedented situation. It came down to Prue to find a way forward, and this led to her working in disability services.

Six years spent as a qualified disability support worker gave Prue the opportunity to work with a variety of skilled health professionals. She witnessed for herself the difference that physiotherapists make in the lives of people who have suffered life-changing neurological events. A degree in physiotherapy was the next logical step. 

Prue’s own lived experience, allied with her technical expertise, makes her a rare find in the rehabilitation community – true empathy and capability combined.
 
Prue has a warm, encouraging approach to physiotherapy. Her method is centred on her belief that when treatment is properly tailored to the individual and their needs, great things can be achieved. What begins with listening to your story flows naturally into a collaborative relationship. Together, working towards the common goal.
