Meet the physioFIX Holland Park team

Jamie Sceney – Co-owner and Principal Physiotherapist (B.App. Sc. Phy)

Catherine Butcher - Senior Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor (B. Phty)

Catherine graduated from QLD University in 1984 and after 3 years at PA Hospital headed to Alberta, Canada working in hospital and private practice settings. On her return to Brisbane, she joined the Physio Department at UQ working with physiotherapy undergraduates. Further hospital based work followed before Catherine and her husband moved to the UK in 1993. Catherine was fortunate to work in a wide variety of settings both in London and the rural county of Shropshire from Specialist Orthopaedic Hospitals to elite sports practices.

Catherine's interest in Clinical Pilates was first piqued by her involvement with a local ballet school in Shropshire. Having completed her initial training with 'Body Control Pilates' in the UK in 2004, she began teaching Mat-based classes. Since her return to Brisbane in 2006, Catherine has successfully completed the Dance Medicine Australia Levels 1-4 and has been incorporating all aspects of Pilates clinical applications into her physiotherapy practice.

Recently Catherine has added dry needling, trigger point massage and kinesiology taping to her extensive continuing education repertoire. These were all particularly useful when she accompanied the 'Docceroos' to the 2011 and 2012 World Medical Football Championships, and are equally handy for the 'weekend warriors'.

Annie Yip - Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor (B. Phty)

Annie has worked in many hospitals and clinics throughout Brisbane and Hong Kong in the areas of Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Women's Health and Cardio respiratory physiotherapy.

In addition to her wide-ranging musculoskeletal physiotherapy experience, Annie is qualified to provide acupuncture and advanced Women's Health physiotherapy. She has also added Level 1-3 Equipment Pilates Instructor to her qualifications, and often incorporates Pilates based training into her physiotherapy treatment.

Annie is also physio for the Holland Park State High School Volleyball team.

Aine Mahony - Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor (B. Sc. Phty)

Aine studied physiotherapy in University College Dublin, Ireland, graduating in 2010. She is never far from the beach or other outdoor adventure activities, making good use of the delightful Australian weather (unlike Ireland)!

Aine was introduced to physiotherapy from a young age, suffering numerous injuries whilst participating in hurling (an exciting 'dangerous' Irish sport), basketball and athletics. These did not stop her from representing her Provence and captaining her club to All Ireland glory. Due to these injuries, Aine has taken an interest in helping people of all ages to perform at their best so they can enjoy life to its fullest.

Aine is interested in injury prevention, biomechanical analysis, Clinical Pilates, all sporting and non-sporting injuries and post-operative rehabilitation. She has experience in the Irish public and private health sector, working with Gaelic teams at the highest level and is now enjoying working in the Australian health care system.

Jacqui Guiot - Pilates Instructor (Dip Pilates Instruction/Dip Dance)

Jacqui first discovered the rehabilitive wonders of Pilates during her days as a professional dancer. Recovering from constant aches and injuries to her pain-free best, she became a qualified instructor in 2005, eager to help others achieve their fitness and rehabilitation goals...

"I love teaching Pilates and seeing people gain confidence in their abilities from week to week. It's amazing what we are capable of!"

Jacqui is currently studying Exercise Physiology at the University of Queensland as she sees the important role exercise plays for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Her other true love is spending time with her two young children - and a Pilates workout when there's time!

Denitta Morris - Pilates Instructor (Dip Spt St, Dip Prof Pilates Instr)

Denitta joined the physioFIX team from the fitness industry. Over the past 20 years she's taught Group Fitness at gyms and TAFE, children's gymnastics and was even a judge for Sports Aerobics. In the past six of those years, she's become Brisbane's guru-ess of Pilates Mat classes and studio sessions.

Denitta believes in educating her clients about their bodies as they work together, to give them the best possible opportunity to achieve their personal goals.
