My name is Holly Shuttleworth and I am a physiotherapist based in Melbourne Australia. I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Doctor of Physiotherapy and I am a parent of two ginger cats named Emma and Isla who we recently adopted. I am passionate about social justice, equality and mental health and try to incorporate these values into my practise as a physiotherapist.
I am determined to practise physiotherapy from a place of inclusivity for all people regardless of size, gender, sexuality, disability or race. Thus, I practise from a ‘Health At Every Size’ (HAES) perspective where I encourage healthy behaviours including regular exercise. I came to this position after my own struggles with body image issues and an exercise addiction. I was introduced to HAES by my dietician who showed me a new way of practising in a holistic and compassionate way.
