Exercise Physiologist
Joanica Needham
Joanica is a qualified exercise physiologist with an honours degree in Exercise Science and over three years of experience in the medical exercise and rehabilitation field. Her clinical focus includes orthopaedic rehabilitation, with a strong emphasis on helping individuals restore movement, improve function, and enhance their quality of life through safe, structured exercise.
Having competed in sport from a young age at a provincial level, Joanica developed a deep understanding of performance, injury prevention, and recovery – an experience that sparked her passion for rehabilitation and human movement. This laid the foundation for her evidence-based approach to exercise prescription and long-term health management.
With a calm and client-centred approach, Joanica is dedicated to guiding individuals through tailored exercise programs that not only support recovery but also promote confidence, strength, and independence in everyday life.
