“I cannot recommend Jacinta enough! From the moment I stepped into her clinic, I felt in such capable hands. Jacinta’s deep knowledge of physiotherapy really put me at ease and helped me understand my injury in a way I never had before. She explained everything so clearly, which made me feel much more informed and confident about my rehabilitation.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and proactive physiotherapist, Jacinta is the one to see!”

Jacinta Pedis
Jacinta is a physiotherapist who is dedicated to helping her clients optimise their health and wellbeing by enhancing their function and achieving their goals. She completed her physio degree at La Trobe University and moved into the public hospital setting working across several areas at the Alfred Hospital. During her hospital work, she really enjoyed guiding strength work and rehab before and after orthopaedic surgeries. Alongside this post-operative work, Jacinta’s strengths are treating individuals with neck pain, back pain and shoulder pain, alongside guidance with osteoarthritis management and return to sport/activity after injuries. She has a strong passion for running and thoroughly enjoys working with runners to enhance or optimise their running potential.
Jacinta’s approach to physiotherapy involves education, manual therapy, exercise prescription and using Clinical Pilates framework to build strength. She loves using these techniques with her clients to improve their goals as part of her well-rounded, holistic approach to client care. Alongside those with musculoskeletal conditions, Jacinta has lots of experience applying these same principals to those living with chronic disease and neurological conditions in our community.
Jacinta has completed further courses and training in chronic pain management, osteoarthritis management, as well as common musculoskeletal conditions including neck, shoulder and knee pain. She has also studied the teaching of Pilates through APPI and currently also teaches classes at our Insight Pilates Studio.
