“You deserve to feel heard, supported and empowered in your body.”
Rachel Urmson
Senior Physiotherapist | Women’s Health Physiotherapist
Rachel is an extremely caring and considerate Senior Physiotherapist who looks after both our Musculoskeletal and Women’s Health patients.
Rachel graduated from the Australian Catholic University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, receiving an Executive Dean’s commendation. She has since gone on to complete advanced training in pelvic health and musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
She is much loved by her patients for her empathy and kindness, combined with her boundless knowledge, humour and passion for all things Women’s Health. She’s highly dedicated to providing the highest quality care with the most up to date research and training.
Her clinical interests include pain management (particularly pelvic pain, endometriosis, neck pain, and nerve-related conditions), as well as antenatal and postnatal care. Rachel is deeply passionate about improving quality of life through evidence-based, patient-centred care. She strives to ensure every individual feels truly heard, supported and empowered, especially when navigating complex or often misunderstood conditions.

Her personal experiences have shaped her empathetic approach and fuelled her commitment to creating a safe, supportive environment where patients feel truly heard and cared for.

Get to know Rachel
My philosophy on Physiotherapy: Women’s health concerns like pain or pelvic floor dysfunction are common, but that doesn’t mean they should be brushed off or become your ‘new normal.’ You deserve to feel heard, supported and empowered in your body.
In my spare time you’ll find me: Chasing after my inquisitive toddler, enjoying a pram walk with a coffee in hand, spending time with family and friends or unwinding with a good fantasy or romance novel on my Kindle.
