About Clarissa

Clarissa is the Clinic Director and Principal Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist at Movement 101 Chatswood, with over 10 years of dual-qualified clinical experience helping people move better, hurt less, and stay that way.

What sets Clarissa apart is the rare combination of Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology expertise - meaning she doesn't just treat the problem in front of her, she looks at the whole picture. Her patients leave with a real understanding of their body and a plan that works beyond the clinic walls.

Clarissa specialises in Women's Health, including pelvic floor rehabilitation, pessary fitting, and pre and postnatal care and return to exercise. She also has a special interest in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), and complex neck, lower back and hip presentations.

She holds a Masters of Physiotherapy from the University of Sydney and is a certified mat and equipment-based Clinical Pilates instructor (APPI and Polestar), delivering highly individualised 1:1 sessions.

As Clinic Director, Clarissa leads a team built around the same philosophy she's practised for over a decade — that the best clinical outcomes come from education, honest communication, and treating patients as active participants in their own recovery.

Outside the clinic, she's mum to one very energetic daughter, a self-confessed coffee snob, and a serial hobby jumper - current pursuits include sewing cute outfits for her daughter, scaling walls, and a handstand she's been "almost nailing" for several years now.
