Zali Schultz

Exercise Physiologist

Born in Coffs Harbour, Zali has grown up in the region, completing her study locally at Southern Cross University where she completed a bachelor’s degree in Sports & Exercise Science, before progressing on to a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at SCU Lismore. When Zali is not at work, she enjoys camping near and far with her partner and friends, whether it’s a short 30-minute drive or an 8-hour drive. Prior to commencing her degree, Zali played representative basketball before injuring her ankle severely (requiring surgery), now Zali takes the more conservative approach and spends her time at the gym trying to stay as fit as possible!

What do you love most about your job?

The thing I love most about my job is the opportunity I get to better individuals' lives. I have a passion for helping people no matter the condition or injury and I love seeing the impact that simple exercise and encouragement can have on these people. I love seeing the positive impact I have on individuals, especially those that are not fond of exercise, it makes it worth it!

Areas of interest?

My passions include Traumatic Brain Injuries – Strokes, neurological disorders, particularly Parkison’s Disease, osteoporosis and bone health, musculoskeletal conditions, particularly total knee and hip replacements and women’s health including pregnancy and post-partum.
