Botamina Gawgruos

Physiotherapist

Botamina is a newly graduated physiotherapist joining the team at Watsonia after completing her Bachelor of Applied Sciences and Master of Physiotherapy Practice at La Trobe University. She has always had a growing passion for physiotherapy and the power of both hands-on therapy and exercise as integral coponents of offective treatment modalities.

Botamina worked as a sports trainer for Heidelberg Football Club for three years which particularly grew her interest in the management of sports related injuries. She not only believes in treating the injury itself, but also in working in collaboration with clients to achieve their goals. In addition to her interest in sports-related injuries, Botamina has a keen interest in women’s health.

Botamina is also passionate about incorporating Clinical Pilates in her practice as a physiotherapist, recognising the holistic approach that Pilates offers, whether that be for rehabilitation, injury prevention or overall health and wellbeing.

Outside of work, Botamina enjoys travelling and hiking with friends. You can catch her exploring new restaurants and activities to do around Melbourne on any day off. Botamina also enjoys dancing, Pilates and is a big foodie!
