Meet the team
Hey there! We can’t wait to meet you.
If you’d like to know a bit more about us just grab a cuppa, sit comfortably (eh-hem, no slouching please!) and read on…
Corinna Hull
Principal Physio - The pommy gardener
Corinna was born in Britain and made Australia her home in 2012 when she moved with her husband to beautiful Gippsland. They keep busy showing their two little girls the sights and sounds of their adopted country and learning how to master an Australian garden (Corinna loves a good native). All gardening tips are welcome!
With a BSc (Hons) in Sports Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention (Middlesex University, London) and a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy (University of East London) under her belt, Corinna has over 15 years of clinical experience in private practice and musculoskeletal physiotherapy and rehabilitation. She has completed the full DMA Clinical Pilates training and enjoys using it in her rehabilitation sessions.
Aside from sightseeing and gardening, Corinna also enjoys keeping fit by walking, running in the local area, playing hockey, taking fun classes and a dash of yoga for balance. Say Hi if you see her passing by!
Daniel Pratt
Physiotherapist - Meep meep, it’s road runner
Daniel has been with the team since the beginning and we’re so pleased to have him on board. Daniel is from the Gippsland area and loves working with all musculoskeletal conditions but has a passion for sports injuries and performing running assessments.
Daniel has worked with a lot of the local sports clubs and has provided pitch side assistance to the ladies Gippsland Power football team on game days.
When Daniel isn’t working, or studying to become a recognised Sports Physiotherapist, he loves running. Did you know he set up and runs the Hallora race every year? It’s become extremely popular with a distance to suit everyone. See you at the finish line!
Tarnia Palmer
Physiotherapist + Lover of the great outdoors
It was Tarnia’s family that led her to the world of Physiotherapy. Tarnia’s Mum was a keen walker and her dad was a cyclist, and they actively encouraged her to play sport and live an outdoors lifestyle. Netball also played a large role in Tarnia’s school years and into adulthood. While most of Tarnia’s netball life has been injury-free (phew!), she did damage herself once – but was lucky enough to have her Mum (an Osteopath) treat her. So handy.
In fact, it was while working as a medical receptionist in her Mum’s Osteopath clinic that Tarnia saw the positive effects that exercise and manual therapy has on people’s lives. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Tarnia loves to treat everything (she says that’s the best part about her job) but has a soft spot for shoulders and spines. She finds them incredibly interesting and is fascinated at how adjusting certain movements or modifying activities can have a huge effect on function and quality of life.
Outside of work Tarnia is a mum of two young, outdoorsy boys. You’ll find them exploring the Rokeby bush, walking their two dogs on the rail trail, feeding the animals at Gumbuya world, or running amuck in the backyard. On the weekends, Tarnia’s hubby takes the family out fishing at Blue Rock dam or for a wander in the bush to see what they can find. Keep an eye out for Tarnia next time you’re out and about!
Molly Slater
Exercise Physiologist, PT + Clinical Pilates - Speeding up the the Highway
Molly is back from mat-leave and has been busier ever since!
In 2023, Molly finished off her Master’s degree to become an Exercise Physiologist, before taking a break to have a little human.
Molly is our Clinical Exercise Physiologist, with years of experience in the industry. In a nutshell, there’s not much she doesn’t know about how to move your body! She is now a qualified Allied Health professional, with full pilates qualifications, to help our clients with all types of Chronic Health Conditions as well as working with anyone who wants to get fitter and stronger.
When Molly isn’t busy being a new Mum or training in the gym, you’ll find her in the great outdoors chasing the sunshine or watching Friends re-runs.
A little secret you might not know – Molly also loves her vintage cars!
Morgan
Receptionist and Allied Health Assistant
The fabulous Morgan has two key roles here at PPG – she works with Cathy on reception and also helps the Clinical team as our Allied Health Assistant. Having grown up in Gippsland, Morgan really enjoys working in such a friendly, warm community.
In 2022, Morgan completed a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science at Swinburne and is now returning to Swinburne to study a Masters of Physiotherapy.
Morgan says she really wanted to study physiotherapy because she enjoys helping people. She’s been through the rehab process herself, so understands the fabulous benefits of physiotherapy.
Outside of work, Morgan enjoys strength training, pilates, swimming, running, netball and basketball. Phew! In her spare time she likes to relax with friends and family, or her cute dog Frankie (mini schnauzer) at the beach or over a coffee (make it a Puppaccino for Frankie).
Cathy
Receptionist
Cathy is our ray in sunlight who’ll greet you when you call or step into the Clinic. Cathy’s here to help you book with the team, find sneaky last minute cancellations, and answer any questions you might have about coming in for a visit.
Outside of work you’ll either find Cathy running after her two energetic boys or cruising around in her AP6 ute! Both sound very fun (and tiring!).
Cathy has led an interesting life, including working as an Exploration Geologist! After surviving a pretty horrific car accident in 2013, she experienced the wonderful benefits of physiotherapy in her recovery and was excited to join the PPG team to help other lovely patients.
Cathy would love to get back to riding horses one day, but for the moment she makes do with her flock of chickens on the outskirts of Neerim South and the family of magpies who come down to visit!
