Marissa Hilotina
Physiotherapist
Marissa's career is built on a foundation of professional excellence and compassionate care. A full scholar graduate of a top university in the Philippines, she honed her skills for years in both private practice and hospital settings. This comprehensive background made her an expert in treating a vast range of conditions, from sports injuries to complex inpatient needs.
Since moving to Australia in 2017, Marissa has seamlessly integrated her expertise into diverse environments, including private practice, aged care, and community sports. She further enhanced her skills by completing a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Rehabilitation at Flinders University in South Australia. This has given her a unique perspective, allowing her to confidently manage complex cases across the spectrum, including geriatric, neurological, post-operative, and musculoskeletal conditions.
While she has a particular interest in the spine, shoulder, and knees, Marissa is skilled in treating a wide range of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries. She firmly believes that effective rehabilitation goes beyond healing an injury; it also empowers patients to prevent future pain, allowing them to continue doing what they love.
Outside of the clinic, Marissa is a homebody at heart, finding joy and balance in gardening, baking, and cooking. These personal passions reflect the nurturing spirit that perfectly complements the compassionate care she provides.
Hope Parrocho
Physiotherapist
For Hope, physiotherapy is more than a profession; it's a journey that started with her work as a sports physio in the Philippines. With a 2012 degree from a top university, she developed a deep understanding of prioritising immediate relief while also planning for a complete recovery. Her experience working with high-performance commercial and national sports athletes gives her a unique edge in treating complex injuries.
Since moving to Australia in 2017, Hope has been a dedicated physiotherapist in private practice. While she enjoys the challenge of post-operative rehabilitation and has a special interest in the spine, shoulder, pelvis, and headaches, she is highly skilled in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries. Hope firmly believes that the most effective path to recovery combines hands-on manual therapy with strategic exercises to restore optimal strength and function.
Outside of the clinic, Hope channels her passion for movement through dance, a hobby that perfectly complements her professional work. She also finds joy and relaxation in spending time with her dog, Reyna, whose name fittingly means "Queen" in Filipino.
