Jacinta Carroll is a highly accomplished Titled Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist with an extensive background in elite high-performance environments. She currently serves as the Head Women’s Physiotherapist for Golf Australia and has held pivotal roles as the Head Physiotherapist for the Brisbane Lions Academy and the Queensland AFL U18 girls’ program. Jacinta’s clinical expertise is further informed by her work with Tennis Australia and the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS), where she provided physiotherapy for beach volleyball, water polo, and para-wheelchair sports.
In her clinical practice, Jacinta specialises in the management of acute lower limb sporting injuries and post-operative rehabilitation, with a particular focus on the hip, knee, and ankle. She is deeply invested in treating weightlifting-based injuries, hamstring tears, and both knee and hip osteoarthritis. Beyond musculoskeletal rehab, Jacinta possesses intricate knowledge regarding exercise during pregnancy and the postpartum period, making her a sought-after clinician for pregnant athletes.
Jacinta’s contribution to the profession extends into academia and thought leadership. She is a recurring lecturer at the University of Queensland, where she developed and presented course content for the Masters of Physiotherapy program specifically focused on “The Female Athlete”. Her authority in this space is further evidenced by her presentations at the Women in Sport Conference regarding exercise safety and performance during pregnancy. Her dual perspective as a clinician and a world-class athlete, holding a current world record in water ski jumping and a former national record in weightlifting, provides her with a unique, firsthand understanding of the demands placed on the human body.

Her weekends are usually spent renovating her house, or chasing after her two young children. She also enjoys getting away for the occasional snow-skiing trip. While she has already travelled the world for sport, her ultimate bucket list goal is to spend a year touring Australia with her family and one day witness the Northern Lights.
