James adds a whole new dimension to what Elite Spinal has to offer. James is one of the few physios in Australia who are extensively trained in ConnectTherapy, designed by Canadian Physiotherapist Dr Linda-Joy Lee. ConnectTherapy looks at the relationships between different regions of the body and helps us to understand how symptoms in different areas are connected, or how symptoms can be caused by a different part of the body. It requires a whole-body assessment and treatment to identify these relationships and is often highly successful for people who haven’t had positive results with other approaches.
James graduated from The University of Wollongong with a Bachelor of Exercise Science, followed by a Masters of Physiotherapy from Sydney University, alongside Elisha & Brigitte. James’ interests include football, cycling, and running. He loves being active which motivates him to assist people through their rehabilitation, whether that is simply moving without pain or returning to elite-level sport.
James believes that every movement requires the whole body, and understanding how different parts of the body are interacting is crucial to getting you out of pain and moving well.

Brigitte graduated from Sydney University with a Masters of Physiotherapy. She has a strong exercise rehab base having previously completed a Bachelor of Exercise Science and Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology from Wollongong University. Her passion is physiotherapy for low back pain treating complex spinal, pelvic and postural related neck and shoulder pain. Throughout her career she has seen how integral a healthy spine can be in the prevention of injury to all other parts of the body. Her approach is to find and treat the dysfunctions in alignment and movement patterns of the body rather than focusing and treating only the painful site.
