Meet The Team
Emma Lyon
Emma graduated from The University of Sydney in 2015 and started her career in private practise, treating sporting and active populations and teaching clinical exercise (Pilates) as part of her overall care.
Throughout her career she has worked with AFL and Rugby League clubs, including our own Cronulla Sharks women’s teams. These roles have seen Emma cover sideline injuries, implement injury prevention and rehabilitation programs. The experience and knowledge she has gained from these role and in the practice has allowed her to facilitate injury prevention information sessions for local gyms and sports clubs, aiming to keep people moving and competing without injuries!
Having come from an elite gymnastics background, Emma understands the hardwork and dedication it takes to achieve your fitness and sporting goals. She understands that what you want more than anything is to be able to perform at your physical best, so you can compete and achieve your goals, feel healthy, keep stress levels to a minimum and feel connected with mates in your sporting team, training group or gym.
Emma’s value for movement and physical activity is what drives her passion for Physiotherapy. She loves helping people get back to activity, or participation within their community. Her treatment style uses a combination of hands on treatment along with exercise and movement to get you back sooner! She will provide you with expert guidance and advice around how to train, what your pain means, and how to continue training without making it worse. She will help you find the positives when you’re feeling disheartened and frustrated with your injury and keep you motivated when yours seems to lag.

Carly Edgar
Carly graduated from Sydney University with a Masters of Physiotherapy in 2011 and began her career in private practice straight away. She has had extensive experience in treating complex hip, pelvis and spinal issues and has gone on to complete further studies in Women’s Health. She has also treated a wide range of sporting injuries, along with completing Sports Level I and II courses.
Carly’s assessment and treatment model looks at the whole body and not just treating the injury but looking for functional or biomechanical deficits to help prevent recurrence. She uses a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription and dry needling and also spends a lot of time educating her patients about their condition which significantly helps with their self-management.
Carly completed studies in Women’s Health early on in her career after seeing the huge impact pelvic floor problems can have on peoples lives. She is passionate about helping women with their pelvic floor issues and also treating pre-and postnatal women for pregnancy related issues.
Outside of physiotherapy, Carly has recently been busy having two young children and running a business with her husband. She stays fit by playing netball, running and going to the gym and loves all things food related – cooking, eating and dining in restaurants!
Ciaran Fox (nee Williams)
After graduating from The University of Sydney with a Physiotherapy degree (First Class Honours and the University Medal), Ciaran gained extensive experience in the management of sports injuries, post-operative and trauma rehabilitation and pre and post-natal physiotherapy whilst working at some of Sydney’s leading trauma hospitals, rural Emergency departments and private practice locations.
She has undertaken postgraduate certification in Sports Physiotherapy (Levels I & II), Treatment of the hip, pelvis and spine, Dry Needling, Clinical Pilates and Women’s Health Physiotherapy.
Ciaran has worked closely with both amateur and elite athletes in the clinic and on the sideline of sports fields. She has provided physiotherapy coverage at large scale running events like the City to Surf and Blackmore’s Running Festival and was the head physiotherapist on the Steve Waugh Foundation “Captain’s Ride”. She has also provided physiotherapy coverage for the Sutherland Shire Women’s Representative Soccer Teams, Newington Rugby Union, Inner West Roller Derby League and St George Netball Representative Teams.
Ciaran also has a passion for helping women during and after their pregnancies to remain active or return to the activity they love! She has been working with mums-to-be and new mums for over a decade, helping them address musculoskeletal pains that arise during pregnancy and to address any musculoskeletal or pelvic floor issues in the post-partum period.
Outside the clinic, Ciaran has a 6-month old son Owen and is currently completing her own post-partum rehabilitation and return to running program! Having previously competed in Surf Life Saving soft sand running events, trail races, half-marathons and a marathon, Ciaran is keen to return to some racing in 2020.
Brianna (Bree) Powell
Brianna (Bree) holds both a bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation (Exercise Physiology) from the University of Wollongong and a Masters of Physiotherapy from the University of Sydney.
Since then, Bree has developed substantial knowledge at two of Sydney’s largest tertiary hospitals (RNS and RPA) where she has specifically focused on paediatric and peri- and post-natal care.
Brianna has followed a passion for children and their development which was nurtured early on as a snow and swim instructor during her studies. She has since gained extensive experience in paediatric and neonatal intensive care departments. In addition to the skills garnered from on the job experience, Brianna fuels a strong desire for constant growth and development, evident from undertaking additional specialist training in newborn and infant assessment, management of common paediatric conditions such as developmental delay, plagiocephaly, tortocolis, and facilitation of gross motor skill attainment.
During her career, Brianna has also developed a love for supporting new mums and has gained experience managing musculoskeletal conditions of pregnancy and the post partum period as well as a strong background in exercise prescription for women during and after pregnancy.

Early on, your baby is working hard just to overcome gravity... a heavy head and weighty limbs definitely feels different compared to moving within the fluid filled womb 🤰🏼
Spending some time lying on their side during those short, wakeful periods after a nappy change allows your baby to use gravity in their favour 👶🏼, helping them bring hand to hand and hands to mouth.
Stay tuned for tips on setting up successful side lying, and the benefits of bringing hands together.
