Edel moved to Bathurst in 2011 with her husband, Brian for a tree change after a secondment to Bathurst Health Service. The pair loved the place so much they decided that Bathurst was the place to raise their young family. Edel emigrated to Australia in 2006 and completed her Masters in Physiotherapy in 2010. Since then she was worked across the private and public sector in acute, sub acute and rehabilitation roles. Her key areas of interest are neurological rehabilitation, cardiorespiratory physiotherapy and pre and post surgical rehabilitation. Edel’s focus is on ensuring her patients are given individual attention with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Away from the clinic, Edel enjoys spending time with her husband and family and travelling.
