Introducing the final finalist for the Rising Star category - Alicia Rayner from Alicia Rayner Physiotherapy.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to returning to her hometown of Carnamah, physiotherapist Alicia Rayner worked with a range of elite sporting clubs such as Melbourne Stars Women’s Big Bash, Cricket Victoria Women’s Program, and Melbourne University Rugby Union Club.
In 2018, she opened Alicia Rayner Physiotherapy which provides services to both the Carnamah and Geraldton communities.
Since establishing her practice, Alicia has taken a lead role in supporting the ongoing professional development of her health colleagues in the region.
Alicia’s regular workshops and seminars on musculoskeletal pain are attended by fellow physiotherapist, doctors, pharmacists and exercise physiologists.
She also mentors physiotherapy students on work placements, with many former students returning to work in the region as a result of their positive experiences with Alicia.
One aspect of the placements Alicia coordinates encourages students to develop and deliver a service not otherwise provided in the community.
Alicia was instrumental in sourcing grant funding to install community gyms in Carnamah and Eneabba and has trained local community members to deliver Fitball and Pilates classes in the two towns.
