Tahlia Cranley

Director, Senior Physiotherapist, BSC Clinical Pilates Instructor

Tahlia is the Director of Perth Physiotherapy and Pilates and has been a physiotherapist for over 13 years. She graduated from Curtin University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) and commenced work initially as a rotating physiotherapist in the hospital setting before realizing her true passion was in private practice.

After leaving her full-time clinical role and deciding to open her own practice in 2016, Tahlia started Perth Physio & Pilates in a room attached to a gym, before moving to the clinic’s current location in 2018. Tahlia became a business owner to be able to provide patients with the best possible care, and provide her staff with an enjoyable and supportive work environment.

Growing up playing state level basketball Tahlia was constantly in and out of the physio. This is initially what sparked her interest in the career. Having worked in the industry for many years, she has developed a special interest in treating sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain and dysfunction, spinal pain and cervical (neck) pain and headaches. Within her consultations, Tahlia looks beyond just the symptoms her patients present with to identify the root cause of the problem, aiming to fully resolve the cause to prevent the pain or issue from recurring.

Tahlia utilizes manual therapy, dry needling, neuromeningeal manipulation, clinical pilates / ‘Physiolates’ and exercise rehabilitation to treat her patients. She is continually completing professional development to learn and extend her knowledge as both a physiotherapist and business owner to ensure she is providing her patients with the most effective treatments.

Outside of work, Tahlia enjoys spending time with her family and keeping up with her two young children. She likes hiking, basketball, camping and heads to the snow whenever she gets the chance to carve it up on the snowboard.

Caitlin Marshall

Senior Physiotherapist, BSC Women’s Health Specialist, Clinical Pilates Instructor

Caitlin completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at Curtin University in 2009 and has since gained experience in a variety of areas within private practice. Her most recent role involved developing NDIS plans for children aged 0-7 years, gaining extensive experience in both the physiotherapy and management side of NDIS.

Caitlin has completed Clinical Pilates programs which has given her the knowledge and experience to teach both mat and equipment based Clinical Pilates, as well as utilising the principles and rehabilitation exercises with individual patients.

Caitlin enjoys working in all areas of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, helping her clients to achieve their best possible outcome, combining manual therapy, dry needling, education and exercise based rehabilitation. She finds these forms of management excellent to assist clients to achieve long term goals of returning to sports or hobbies and preventing future injuries.

Having completed a Women’s Health course, Caitlin has developed a particular interest in treating women’s pelvic health and continence issues. She enjoys working with women of all ages experiencing bladder and bowel problems, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction and particularly enjoys working with pregnant and postnatal women to help them to achieve their best quality of life.

Outside of work Caitlin thoroughly enjoys snuggling up with her golden retriever Bailey, as well as spending quality time with her friends and family over a glass of wine and a beautifully constructed cheese board.

Tatiana Quintas

Physiotherapist, BSC

Tatiana was born in A Coruña, a city in the northwest of Spain, but moved to Barcelona to study Physiotherapy and graduated from Rovira i Virgili University in 2012. From a young age, she was deeply interested in the human body and anything related to science (yes, she admits to being a bit of a nerd). Her passion for science was so intense that before becoming a Physiotherapist, she worked as an anatomical pathology technician, performing autopsies. However, her insatiable thirst for knowledge eventually led her to study Physiotherapy.

As a Physiotherapist, Tatiana is able to combine her greatest passions: science, communication, and helping others. She places great importance on ensuring that all her patients feel they are in a safe space when they visit the clinic, where their concerns and well-being are top priorities. Her approach is focused on educating patients about their conditions and providing them with helpful tools so they can feel in control of their body and health.

Tatiana’s treatments involve a great deal of listening to the patient, along with manual therapy, dry needling, and exercise-based rehabilitation.

Since graduating, Tatiana has had the opportunity to work as a Physiotherapist in various countries, including Spain, France, Guatemala, on a cruise ship around the world, and now in Australia. She is excited to embark on this new career journey. Outside of work, Tatiana enjoys walking on the beach, having coffee with friends, or planning her next trip, as traveling fuels her soul.
