Meet our new team member Joni Levine
Joni graduated from the University of Queensland in 2015 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (hons.) and has been working in musculoskeletal private practice ever since. This month he completed his Masters of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland and we are now thrilled to have Joni join the Pain Slayer team here at Graceville Physiotherapy.
Joni has always had a passion for sport, playing soccer and tennis when younger and now enjoying keeping active by cycling and running with his wife Rachel. It was his keen interest in sport and keeping active that ignited his passion for physiotherapy. Joni enjoys seeing a wide array of patient presentations, but has a particular interest in running-related injuries and chronic pain presentations. He applies his extensive knowledge of pain and movement into his treatment plans, with a particular emphasis on education and self-management, advocating for manual therapy in combination with exercise therapy.
