Ashleigh Russell

I am a previous Narooma High School student, to now Physiotherapist. I studied at the University of Canberra, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. During my studies and practical experience, I was able to build her musculoskeletal knowledge and skills. I was also extremely lucky to continue this with working as a Physiotherapy Aide along side the awesome Narooma Physiotherapy Centre team.

My passion for sport / sporting background (Playing AFL) has given me a strong interest in sporting injuries and everything physio. My passion for physiotherapy is driven by my love for rehabilitation and helping others achieve their best.

Can’t wait to meet you all!
