With over two decades of clinical experience and a PhD focused on improving care for people with back pain, Alla brings together hands-on physiotherapy, academic expertise, and evidence -based treatment. Her research led to the development of a virtual hospital model for back pain that’s now used as standard care in the Sydney Local Health District.

“Persistent pain is such a challenging area, and we still don’t have all the answers. That’s why I chose to specialise in it – so I can offer my clients the best possible care, even for complex conditions.”  – Alla is passionate about helping people manage chronic pain and regain their strength, mobility, and confidence in daily life.

Alla’s expertise spans chronic pain management, women’s health, and rehabilitation, with a particular focus on back pain.

“I believe the earlier you get moving with back pain, the quicker your recovery,” says Alla, who also enjoys working with people recovering from surgery or injury to get them back to their active lives.

Alla also teaches physiotherapy students at the University of Sydney, staying connected with the latest research and clinical approaches.

Do you treat clients who are not experiencing chronic pain?
“Absolutely! I treat all types of musculoskeletal pain, whether it’s a recent injury or ongoing discomfort. My goal is to help you move better, feel better, and prevent future injuries with personalised treatment plans.”

What are your current interests outside of work?
“Outside of work, I enjoy walking, kayaking, swimming, and creating homemade fermented foods like sauerkraut. I also love getting creative with watercolour painting.”
