Pat L’Huillier

Physiotherapist

Pat graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) and holds an ASCA level 1 Strength & Conditioning qualification. Pat enjoys treating a wide range of injuries and in particular shoulder and lower limb soft tissue conditions.
Pat has spent multiple years gaining experience as a physiotherapist in Gippsland in regional Victoria, including being the head physiotherapist at Woodside FNC. He also spent time as a sports trainer at Oakleigh Cannons FC (NPL).

Pat utilises an active-based approach to rehabilitation, stemming from his personal interest and experience in football, gym and long-distance running. He aims to use his skillset to not only manage acute pain but also teach strategies for self-management of injuries in the longer-term.

Pat enjoys using exercise and movement to empower people to overcome their injuries and get back to their chosen endeavours. As well as treating sporting injuries, Pat equally likes to assist people with common everyday issues such as back or neck pain.
