About

With 23 years experience as a Physiotherapist and with a background in Exercise and Sports Science, Peta Talbot is a Titled Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist, having completed her Sports Masters in 2016. She is at the forefront of the latest evidence-based management for a wide range of injuries and chronic pain conditions.

​

Peta has a special interest in the treatment of the spine and pelvis, as well as hip, groin and rib injuries. She has worked across several Sydney-based clinics including Sydney Stadium Sports Physiotherapy and a specialised spine and pelvis clinic, addressing both acute and complex chronic issues. She has also spent time working within a womens health clinic, working in pre and post natal care, and complex rib cage and pelvic issues.

​

Peta has studied the treatment of the pelvis and thorax with world renowned Canadian physiotherapists Dianne Lee (ISM) and L.J. Lee (Connect Therapy); and has extensive training in pain sciences, muscle energy techniques, craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation. She has been involved in teaching professional development courses to other physiotherapists in the management of pelvic and spinal conditions. 

​

With her own background as an athlete, Peta has a keen interest in working with athletes and has worked extensively with a number of sports including AFL, soccer and rowing, with a special interest in Track and Field.  She is currently a contracted physio with Australian Athletics, NSW Athletics and the NSW Institute of Sport.  In 2025 she travelled to Japan with the Australian team for the World athletics Championships. Peta also worked with NSW Gymnastics for 15 years and held the role as Physiotherapist for the NSW Elite Trampoline Squad for over 5 years. 

​

Peta has extensive experience in working to develop specific strength and stability programs for a variety of sporting and non sporting issues,  assisting everyone from the elite athlete, to the 'weekend warrior', to those looking to start from scratch. She has a keen interest in the education and development of exercise programs for women during pregnancy, for new mums keen to return to exercise safely, and female athletes with pelvic floor issues. She liases closely with womens health physio's to ensure optimal care.

​

Peta's strength lies in the ability to look at the bigger picture and treat the body as a whole, using the most up to date evidence based practice, while also intergrating a more holistic approach.

Outside of work Peta enjoys running around after her young family and exploring the local exercise trails.
