KHARIS JAYAWARDHANA

Kharis completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University in 2021. In her youth, she participated in track and field, acrobatics, netball and touch. She therefore has a special appreciation for sports related injuries, general musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation. Throughout Kharis’ studies and into her professional career, she has worked within a range of sports disciplines including:

•     Queensland Premier Rugby Union: Souths Rugby Union / Norths Rugby Union
•     QFA Div 1 AFL: Mayne Tigers AFC
•     Queensland Football National Premier Leagues: Brisbane City Football Club
•     Football Queensland Premier League 2: Northstar Football Club
•     Hockey Queensland: Kedron Wavell Hockey Club

Kharis likes to combine the use of manual therapy and exercise-based rehabilitation to ensure her clients return to their highest level of function. As such she is a qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach and also implements Dry Needling when indicated.  

When Kharis isn’t in the clinic you will most likely find her sideline at a rugby union game, in the stands watching a rugby league game, or at the beach.
