Principal Physiotherapist | Founder of Realign Physio & Co

Member of the Global Postural Re-education International Network (GPR)
Clarisse is an experienced physiotherapist with a career spanning both Brazil and Australia since completing her Physiotherapy degree in 2004. Her diverse experience in private practice, rehabilitation, and complex musculoskeletal care has shaped her patient-first approach, recognising that injury recovery involves not just the body, but the mind as well.
Clarisse holds advanced certification in Global Postural Re-education (GPR® – Souchard Method), a highly specialised technique that has become the foundation of her clinical work. GPR® focuses on identifying and correcting postural imbalances while addressing the underlying causes of spinal dysfunction and chronic pain. She has also completed advanced GPR® training in managing cervical spine issues, TMJ dysfunctions, and joint pathologies.
Her passion for postural biomechanics, persistent pain, and individualised rehabilitation inspired her to open Realign Physio & Co—a space built on connection, clinical excellence, and genuine care. She envisioned a practice where patients feel truly seen, heard, and supported through every stage of their recovery.
Clarisse’s treatment style is thorough and deeply personalised. She avoids one-size-fits-all protocols, choosing instead to tailor her care based on each patient’s story, functional goals, and lifestyle. Her approach combines hands-on therapy, movement-based rehabilitation, and education to empower patients in their recovery journey.
In addition to GPR®, Clarisse has pursued further training in acupuncture, remedial massage, Muscle Energy Technique, Pilates, and PD Warrior (for Parkinson’s-specific rehabilitation). She also works closely with GPs, specialists, and insurers in the management of complex cases, WorkCover claims, and chronic pain presentations.
Outside the clinic, Clarisse enjoys Pilates, long walks, and spending time with her family. She brings the same grounded, compassionate energy into every consultation.
