Lucia Tennant Physiotherapist

Lucia is the Principal Physiotherapist and founder of Formotion Physio which she opened in 2016. She has over 10 years of experience working in musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and the world of fitness and health, initially working in Private Practices around Perth and with Claremont and Hamersley Carine Football Club. She has spent the past 8 years working with high level CrossFit, weightlifting and running athletes around Perth and developing the business to provide high quality care. Her approach with Physiotherapy is highly practical and she ensures that she spends enough time finding the cause of injuries, rather than only treating the symptoms. She aims to empower her clients through education and exercise to create sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. While her methods are embedded in evidence based practice she does include a broader more holistic view when it comes to more difficult and complex cases, particularly those experiencing chronic pain. She is passionate about improving people’s health and fitness in a sustainable way and is committed to continually learning to stay up to date with the ever changing field of health. She loves to work with athletes to improve the way they move to break through training plateaus, as well as incorporating mindset training to help people make long term changes to their lifestyle and health. Her own background is mostly in track running, horse riding and hockey. She now enjoys exploring all forms of sport, at the moment that includes lifting weights, bodyweight gymnastics training and bouldering. On her holidays and time off she loves to free dive and create art.
