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!

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 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!
