Senior Physiotherapist

Dance Program Coordinator

Myotherapy Program Mentor

17 years of dance training, 12 years of tennis and 7 years of competitive rock climbing fueled Kelsey’s interest in sport and associated injuries. “I’d always been interested in health and fitness and Physiotherapy was a great transition from Personal training into the treatment and rehabilitation of a lot of the issues I saw in the gym. It came with a stronger understanding of the human body.”

While sport is her passion, Kelsey believes that creating solid foundations of strength and rehabilitation are key components in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, whether you work in an office or as an elite athlete. “Having participated in a fair few sports over the years it’s given me a better understanding of the demands the body can be put through, the movements required to succeed and the difficult task of taking time away from the sport you love when injured.”

Kelsey employs a hands-on approach when treating muscular pains and joint dysfunction, complementing treatment outcomes with modalities such as cupping, dry needling, trigger point therapy, and taping. “Shoulder joint issues really fascinate me because they can be unpredictable and complex. I really enjoy the process of breaking down why the injury has occurred in the first place and rehabilitating the joint structures.”

Away from work, Kelsey is an avid participator in rock climbing and has competed in both state and national events. “I can also be a great couch potato when I need some down time and enjoy meeting up with friends.”

CSSM Podiatrist Paula Alarcon become interested in Podiatry after an ACL reconstruction. “I visited a Podiatrist who helped me stabilise my knee after I had noticed the changes that orthotics made in my running cycle when I went back into sports.”

“I have always led an active lifestyle, growing up with sports and dancing. This inspired an interest in how the body moves, and a passion to help people move.”

Paula’s sporting background has provided her with a particular interest in the recovery and management of foot and ankle injuries.

“Our feet are what keep us moving every day, they are the wheels in our daily journey, and they work very hard all year around. Therefore, prevention and proper management of foot problems are essential for our mobility, comfort and health.”

Joining CSSM, Paula says she enjoys being able to work with a great variety of health professionals allowing patients to have a more holistic approach as well as contributing to her own learning process by exchanging opinions and ideas from other practitioners.

While Paula believes Podiatry enables her to choose her own pathway from rehabilitation of the foot and ankle, biomechanics, running gait analysis to skin conditions, she hopes to specialise in the rehabilitation of injuries and sports Podiatry.

A true believer that movement is medicine, Paula is an elite Ultimate Frisbee player having participated in the under 24’s championships world cup with the Colombian team in 2018 held in Perth and the under 24’s Australian team in 2019 held in Heidelberg, Germany.

From an early fascination with anatomy in high school PE classes to a professional career dedicated to movement and recovery, Hamish Williams’ journey into Myotherapy has been shaped by both passion and experience. While many saw sport as a pastime, Hamish was captivated by the invisible architecture behind every stride and jump—the muscles, the bones, the interplay that makes movement possible.

Yet, it was adversity that truly defined his path. During his final year of school, a succession of injuries—adductor tendinopathy, a torn hamstring, and eventually a torn ACL—forced him off the field and into a new role: observer and student of the recovery process. Unable to participate in the sports he loved, Hamish’s focus shifted from performance to rehabilitation. He became engrossed in understanding how and why the body breaks down—and, more importantly, how it heals.

This deeper curiosity led him straight to Myotherapy. What set this discipline apart for Hamish was its hands-on nature, its blend of practical rehabilitation, movement education, and personal connection. Myotherapy spoke to his love of science and problem-solving, but also satisfied a deeper drive: helping people overcome obstacles and return to the activities that enrich their lives.

Today, as a dedicated Myotherapist, Hamish works with a diverse clientele—from athletes striving for peak performance to individuals seeking relief from everyday pain and restriction. He is committed to uncovering the root causes of discomfort, collaborating with each client to craft a clear, personalised plan for recovery and improved movement.

Personal experience has taught Hamish that injuries don’t just challenge the body; they shape perspectives, build resilience, and open new possibilities. Now, he channels that insight to empower others—guiding them past setbacks and towards renewed freedom of movement.

CSSM physio Lily Taplin is a Camberwell local.

An active individual, Lily grew up participating in sport, fascinated by biomechanics and how the body moves.  It is an interest that grew into a profession.

For Lily, being a physiotherapist combines the challenge of uncovering the cause of pain with the fulfilment of empowering others to manage their injuries and reach their fullest potential.

“That is why I love it”

“What I’m passionate about, is taking the time to really get to know the individual, their goals, interests, and expectations, and collaboratively developing a treatment plan that enables them to achieve these factors.”

“So many people experience aches and pains in their everyday lives but there is so much we as physiotherapists can do to help and getting the right help is vital in being able to return to the activities you need to and want to do. I love being a part of the journey to help others return to what they love and lead fulfilling lives.”

Away from the clinic, you’ll find Lily getting out in nature, whether its running, hiking or simply walking her dog.

“I also love to travel and explore new places and beautiful scenery.”
