Rebecca von Pfyffer is a Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and former dancer whose high-performance history spans elite international and national sports. She has provided expert physiotherapy coverage on the world stage for Freestyle Ski Canada and Diving Australia, traveling to international competitions across Canada, Mexico, China, Austria, and Switzerland.

Clinically, her core focus centers on non-sporting musculoskeletal conditions, complex spinal presentations, and specialised dance and performing arts injury management. Her clinical practice focuses extensively on persistent back and neck pain, headaches, TMJ (jaw) disorders, sciatica, and radiculopathy. Her practice heavily features hip, knee, and pelvis management, including osteoarthritis care, as well as tendon pain such as tennis elbow and rotator cuff pathologies. In addition, she has a significant clinical focus on balance rehabilitation and fall risk reduction for older adults.
Complementing her clinical practice, she boasts over 20 years of Clinical Pilates training and holds a Diploma in Dance. She serves as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Queensland, mentoring final-year physiotherapy students.
