About

Yudi Leibovitz

Yudi began her career in a large tertiary hospital in South Africa, where she spent five years treating a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. During this time, she led the Musculoskeletal Outpatient Department as Team Leader, served as Acting Chief Physiotherapist, and headed the Quality Assurance Department. She also supervised students and mentored junior clinicians, fostering strong clinical reasoning and a high standard of care.

‍

In 2019, Yudi completed her Certificate in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy, further advancing her expertise in clinical assessment and hands-on manual therapy. She has since undertaken additional training in temporomandibular disorders and developed a strong interest in the management of TMJ dysfunction, headaches, and complex pain presentations. She also has a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing chronic pain and hypermobility, recognising the importance of tailored, progressive rehabilitation to support long-term outcomes and restore confidence in movement.

‍

Now practising in private practice in Australia, Yudi manages a broad range of musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions. Her clinical style integrates detailed assessment, hands-on treatment and progressive strength-based rehabilitation to restore function and build long-term resilience. She has also completed Pilates training with the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI).
