Director Rebecca Crawford
Rebecca established the Physiotherapy for Women practice in 2000. Having a special interest in the life stages of women from a health point of view, Rebecca developed a unique physiotherapy clinic, providing a combination of musculoskeletal, pelvic health and exercise therapy.
Over her many years of physiotherapy practice, Rebecca has learnt the importance of firstly listening to a client’s presenting story, along with understanding their goals – what do they actually want! This approach guides the assessment and treatment pathway, based on open communication with the client and clinically informed practice. This philosophy has enabled Rebecca to treat diverse presentations of pain, weakness and dysfunction in a woman’s body, regardless of age.
Handing on these skills to her excellent physiotherapy team within Physiotherapy for Women, was always seen as important and continues to occur. Encouraging team mentoring and continuing professional development, has enabled Rebecca to retire from clinical hands-on physiotherapy at the end of 2025, but still remain actively involved in running the business.
As Managing Director, Rebecca strives in supporting the happy physiotherapists and front desk team. The business aims for every woman coming in to the Lockley’s practice to receive excellent physiotherapy services, where open communication is first and foremost. This is vital in assisting each client to understand what is involved in their individual health journey. There will of course be times when that pathway is not always straight forward and multi-disciplinary health measures may be necessary.
Rebecca enjoys life away from work, respecting the need to find that balance between living and loving life to it’s fullest. Maintaining physical strength and agility through the aging process, has given Rebecca the chance to be active with her grandchildren and to experience the many sides that nature has to offer when gardening, bushwalking and kayaking.
