Kristy Hord

Physiotherapist

Kristy graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science followed by a Masters of Physiotherapy. She has over 9 years of experience in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, and has gained valuable experience in both the hospital environment and private practice setting. 

Kristy has extensive experience in treating clients with neck and lower back issues, and has worked with several specialist surgeons and general practitioners to ensure a holistic treatment plan for her clients. 

Kristy loves seeing her clients get the best possible results and she uses a combination of her manual therapy and exercise prescription skills to achieve this. She is frequently attending courses to further her physiotherapy knowledge, particularly in chronic pain management. 

Kristy has a love of all things outdoors and you’ll probably find her out and about at one of the local hiking trails or down at the beach enjoying a dip.
