About Leia Graham
B Phty, B.A.
Identifying the root cause of a person’s pain, helping them to understand why they’re hurting and empowering them to take control and actively engage in optimizing their health – connecting their brain, body and mind – underpins my passion for physiotherapy.
Leia is a registered physiotherapist and Yoga teacher.
Leia has been working as a physiotherapist in Brisbane since 2008. She graduated from Centro Universitario IBMR in Brazil with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2002 and has since completed many post-graduate courses in musculoskeletal including Maitland, Muscle Energy, Neural Mobilization, Explain Pain, Graded Motor Imagery and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization.
Leia is highly experienced and has a special interest in treating chronic and persistent pain patients. She has always been passionate about the involvement of the brain/mind in connection with the body. Her extensive studies and training in brain-mind-body scientific methodologies have enriched her biopsychosocial approach to physiotherapy.
Leia is also experienced in sports injury and performance management. She enjoys working with athletes to improve their performance and diminish their risk of injury in their chosen sport. Since becoming a yoga teacher in March 2017, Leia has utilised her knowledge to help ordinary people get into yoga practice safely and use the yoga poses and philosophy part of the tools for their healing.
When she’s not at work, Leia enjoys going to the beach, practicing hot yoga, getting a relaxing massage and spending time with her teenage girls. She’s a long-time health and wellness advocate who enjoys natural cooking, gardening and essential oils. She is an eternal student of the human body, science and spirituality. Leia also loves catching up with friends and she believes that laughter and joy are the best medicines for living life happily and fully.
One of her favourite quotes… When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change – Wayne Dyer
About Hudson Graham
B Phty, B.A.
I embrace an educative and active approach to physiotherapy. I empower clients with understanding and strategies that fit within their lifestyle so that they can cope as independently as possible to achieve and sustain long term health and wellness.
After originally studying Geology at university, Hudson pursued his interests in competitive triathlon and dressage. It was through his involvement in these sports that lead to his fundamental belief in correct biomechanical movement patterns and subsequently lead him to formalize this love of musculoskeletal medicine by returning to university to study physiotherapy.
Since graduating from the University of Queensland in 2004, Hudson has applied his skills to acute orthopaedic management, aquatic physiotherapy, elite sports people (especially triathletes) and even to the management of elite equine athletes. These skills have given him a reputation that demands interest from athletes both internationally and domestically.
In 2007 Hudson and a small group of like-minded physiotherapists began providing onsite services for BMA (BHP-Mitsubishi Alliance) at their coal mines in the Bowen Basin. Across the next 8 years the service the team provided was highly valued by both the workers and mine management. This experience provided the opportunity to prove that the application of their treatment approach was just as applicable and effective in a very challenging industrial setting as it is in the sporting arena.
Outside of physiotherapy, Hudson loves spending time at home and having fun with his teenage daughters. He regularly takes advantage of the beautiful beaches and rainforest waterfalls near home. Hudson remains a very keen cyclist.
