Harriet Smith, Physiotherapist

About

Hi, I'm Harriet.

I'm a sports physiotherapist based in Noosaville, working with people across the Sunshine Coast who want to get back to the sport or movement they love — properly, not just quickly.

Living and working in a community built around surf, sand and an active outdoor life, I see a lot of the same patterns: overuse injuries from running, shoulder and back strain from paddling and surfing, and the niggles that build up from training without quite enough recovery.

My approach is hands-on and practical. We figure out what's actually going on, treat it, and build a plan to get your body strong enough that the problem doesn't just come back the moment you're back in the water or back on the track.

Approach

Sport-specific

Treatment is built around the actual movements your sport demands, not a generic exercise sheet.

Hands-on

Manual therapy paired with a clear plan for what to do between sessions.

Long-term

The goal isn't just symptom relief — it's staying injury-free once you're back to it.
