Wenika is a sole practitioner, so you deal directly with her from the beginning to the end of your treatment.

Wenika graduated as a Master of Physiotherapy (musculoskeletal) from UniSA in 2009.

After 10 years of practice, she was drawn to helping those in aged-care facilities after a placement in an Adelaide nursing home.
“There is a perception that people in nursing homes are beyond help, but I learnt I could make a difference through my work,” she said. “It’s very rewarding for me to see a client get moving again, and to help reduce their pain.”

In 2017, she started her own mobile physiotherapy practice, working solely with senior clients.
She is experienced in:

  • Providing aged-care community services at community and wellness centres.
  • Supervising groups of seniors, at one time conducting more than 10 exercise and wellness classes a week.
  • Understanding the different aged-care funding models, including Home Support Programs, Home Care Packages and the Short-term Restorative Care Program.
  • Training others. Wenika has been a clinical educator for undergraduate physiotherapy students.
    * Leading clinical education sessions for care co-ordinators and home support workers, with a focus on identifying frailty.
    * Educating clients about their health.
