From injury to movement confidence

Meet Nadia

I’m an upper body physiotherapist, movement coach and founder of Climb Care Collective based in Melbourne.

With a deep curiosity for how the body works from the unique grip positions in climbing to the complex demands on the shoulders in gymnastics, BJJ and in the performing arts I've supported athletes across a variety of sports including youth athletes in elite sports pathways. This has led me to appreciate not only the importance of creating strong movement fundamentals but also the key considerations around growth spurts and load monitoring around various stages of athletic development.

I founded Climb Care Collective because I kept seeing climbers receive vague rehab like “see how you go” or being told to rest for extended amounts of time without any training modifications around injury being provided.  I wanted to offer something clearer. With thoughtful training modifications, structured progressions, and a return-to-skill plan that actually makes sense.

My focus is always on finding what you can do, not pulling you away from the movement practices you love. Whether you’re navigating a persistent finger niggle, rebuilding wrist and shoulder control for your handstand practice or progressing through a growth spurt, my goal is to help you move with more strength, coordination and confidence.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me bouldering, rolling on the BJJ mats, wrestling or off on a spontaneous outdoor adventure with my partner in our CRV!
