HomeOur team

Six practitioners, no locums.

The person you book is the person you see. If someone else in the building is a better fit for the problem, they walk you down the hall and introduce you, and you do not start the story again.

01Who you will see

Two physios, two chiros, two massage therapists.

Every practitioner here is registered or accredited with their national body. Qualifications are listed in full because you should not have to ask.

Book with any of them

Elise Warrender

Physiotherapist · Principal

BPhysio (Hons), University of Queensland. Registered with AHPRA. Member, Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Elise opened the Newstead rooms in 2011 after eight years in hospital outpatients. She still takes the hardest lower backs herself, and she is the one who decides whether a case needs a scan, a specialist or simply more time.

Newstead, Monday to Friday Physiotherapy

Dr Marcus Bell

Chiropractor

BChiroSc, MClinChiro, Macquarie University. Registered with AHPRA. Uses the title Dr as a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.

Marcus works mostly on mid backs and necks, and on the headaches that start at the base of the skull. He will tell you at the end of the first visit roughly how many appointments he thinks it will take, and he holds himself to it.

Sophie Ilanko

Remedial massage therapist

Diploma of Remedial Massage. Member, Massage and Myotherapy Australia. Fifteen years in the room.

Sophie has been treating the same knots for fifteen years and can find a band of tight tissue faster than most people can describe it. She works to the pressure you ask for and checks in as she goes.

Priya Raghavan

Physiotherapist · Pilates lead

BPhysio, Griffith University. APPI clinical Pilates certified. Registered with AHPRA. Member, Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Priya runs the Pilates studio and writes every program in it. She works with a lot of runners and a lot of new parents, two groups who arrive with the same hip complaint for completely different reasons.

Dr Tom Naylor

Chiropractor

BSc, Master of Clinical Chiropractic, CQUniversity. Registered with AHPRA. Uses the title Dr as a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.

Tom uses slower, low force technique more often than not, which suits people who are nervous about being adjusted and people over seventy. He runs the Coorparoo rooms on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Dan Oakley

Sports massage therapist

Diploma of Remedial Massage, Certificate IV in Sports Trainer. Member, Massage and Myotherapy Australia.

Dan spends his weekends taping ankles at club rugby, so he sees most soft tissue injuries before they reach a clinic. He handles the pre event and post event bookings in the week around a race.

The portrait marks above are drawn, not photographed. We would rather show you a name and a qualification than a stock photo of somebody who does not work here.

02How the team works

One file, three disciplines.

Most people arrive having already told their story twice somewhere else. Here it is written down once and everyone who treats you reads it before you walk in.

Book a first visit See the six services

One assessment, not three

Whoever you see first does the full assessment and writes it up. Nobody repeats it on you the following week.

Handovers happen in person

If the physio thinks the chiropractor should see you, they walk you across and say why in front of you, so you hear the reasoning.

A weekly case meeting

Thursday mornings the whole team talks through the cases that are not moving. Your name comes up before your plan changes.

We refer out when we should

Surgeons, sports physicians, GPs and podiatrists. If this is not ours to fix, we say so early rather than booking you in again.

03Registration and training

Why there are no quotes on this page. Australian health advertising rules do not allow a clinic to publish patient reviews or stories about their care, and that applies to practitioner pages as much as anywhere else. So we show the score and the number of people behind it, and leave the reading to you on those sites. Figures updated 1 September 2026.
