Our Team
We are a highly experienced group of physiotherapists with expertise in treating musculoskeletal and sporting injuries.
Paul McLoughlin
Practice Principal since 1992
Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist
Paul graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) in 1987 and later completed a Master of Health Science in Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2006. He is a Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and a Member of the Australian College of Physiotherapists.
Paul has been the principal physiotherapist at the clinic’s current location since 1992 and has spent many years helping people from the local community move with greater comfort and confidence. He enjoys working with clients of all ages and activity levels and has a particular interest in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions.
Paul combines hands-on manual therapy with tailored exercise-based rehabilitation to help reduce pain, restore movement, and support long-term recovery. He takes a clear, practical approach to care, taking the time to listen, explain findings, and develop treatment plans that fit each client’s lifestyle and goals — whether that’s returning to activity, staying active at work, or managing ongoing pain.
He works closely with local GPs and medical specialists, as well as personal trainers, massage therapists, yoga instructors and Pilates practitioners, to ensure clients receive well-coordinated, holistic care and the best possible outcomes.
Alongside his work with everyday musculoskeletal conditions, Paul has extensive experience working with athletes across a range of levels. He has worked with sporting organisations including Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Warringah Rugby Club, and has treated internationally ranked athletes in sports such as swimming, marathon running, race walking and track and field. This experience has further strengthened his understanding of movement, performance and recovery, which he applies to all clients — not just athletes.
Outside the clinic, Paul enjoys endurance mountain bike events, scuba diving and surfing. As the proud father of three young adults, he understands the demands of balancing work, family, and staying active.

Corey takes a holistic and personalised approach to physiotherapy, combining hands-on manual therapy with targeted exercise-based rehabilitation. He focuses on understanding each client’s individual goals, concerns, and lifestyle, and tailors treatment to help reduce pain, restore movement, and build strength and confidence over time.

Leanne Pejkovic-Kelsey
Accredited Exercise Physiologist
Leanne grew up a local girl on Sydney’s North Shore, where she remained and raised her own family in the area as well. She frequented the clinic for each of her 3 children as well as her own injuries over the years. During that time she also ran a successful home business in the field of Architecture.
Her children all became successful elite athletes in their own right. This path opened her eyes to the training methodology of different coaches and the injuries being sustained and the rehabilitation process that went with them. Her mission was to find the answers that would fill the gaps in her knowledge and answer her questions.
She completed her Bachelor of Applied Fitness (2013) and continued to a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science (2017) and finally to her masters In Exercise Physiology (2021) after delays due to Covid. She receivedthe Executive Deans Award of Excellence. This was all achieved while coaching Elite and School athletes to National and International success as a L3 IAAF Track and Field Coach.
