Loren Buckley

Physiotherapist

I grew up in Nambucca Heads and initially became interested in physiotherapy through my love of sport, science, health and wellbeing. I attended Charles Sturt University locally here in Port Macquarie completing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with a special interest in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and clinical Pilates. Outside of work you will likely find me reading, playing the piano, playing sport in the community or down at the beach with friends and family.

What do you love most about your job/industry?

What I love most about my job as a physiotherapist is the opportunity to make tangible difference in people’s lives. Seeing people achieve their goals – whether it’s regaining mobility, reducing pain, or returning to their favourite activities – it is incredibly rewarding.

Areas of interest?

My areas of interest include working with back and neck pain, post operative rehabilitation, work cover, clinical Pilates and enhancing sports performance, particularly in athletes recovering from injuries.

Your top tip

Always try to learn and embrace a “growth mindset”. A growth mindset is a belief that your abilities, intelligence and talents are not fixed, but can be developed through effort, learning and persistence. Changing your mindset from “I can’t do it” to “I can’t do it yet” is a powerful place to start.
