Meet Ellen - our Physiotherapist
I’m Ellen — a physiotherapist, rider, mum, and long-time South West local who believes that movement, connection and confidence can change lives.
With over 20 years of experience in paediatrics and disability physiotherapy in rural and remote communities, I’ve supported children, families and adults across our region to move, participate and thrive in their everyday worlds.
Every Stride Physiotherapy brings my two worlds together — blending disability expertise, a fun and engaging therapist with a strong foundation in biomechanics with an understanding of the dynamic movement of the horse. This allows me to support people of all abilities, including para-equestrian and developing riders.
My approach is grounded, kind, inclusive and neuroaffirming. I meet people where they are, working in creative, thoughtful ways that support comfort, confidence and progress.
Whether I’m helping a young child build motor skills or supporting a rider to feel balanced and safe in the saddle, I focus on making therapy meaningful and human.
Outside of work, you’ll find me at our small hobby farm with my horses, kids and dogs, enjoying quiet paddock time with pleanty of mud under my boots - enjoying the rhythm of a rural life.

Physiotherapy for children aged 0–12 years, supporting motor development, coordination and everyday participation.

Equestrian Physiotherapy
Balancing riders for harmony and performance
Equestrian physiotherapy for riders with disabilities is a specialised service supporting your body, your movement and your partnership with your horse.
I bring together disability physiotherapy expertise and years of equestrian experience to help you understand your body, your biomechanics and how they interact with the dynamic movement of the horse.
My focus is on creating balanced, strong and effective riders — enhancing performance, comfort and the welfare of the horse. I work with para-equestrian riders and young or developing riders who want to ride with confidence, harmony and connection.
Hippotherapy and Equine Assisted Physiotherapy
Movement, connection and confidence — powered by the horse
Hippotherapy and equine-assisted physiotherapy in the South West of WA, using the horse’s movement and natural connection to support mobility, strength, coordination and confidence.
Working alongside a skilled team and our trusted equine partners, sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. The rhythm, warmth and responsiveness of the horse create unique therapeutic opportunities that can’t be replicated in the clinic.
It’s a calm, supportive environment where movement, connection and growth come together.
