About Jo
Jo is a Pilates practitioner and massage therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. She fell in love with anatomy and physiology whilst studying massage therapy in Sydney in 2003. She then completed her Pilates training in one of Australia's first physiotherapy-based Pilates studios. More recently Jo completed her bachelor's degree in health and rehabilitation science at Charles Sturt University.
Jo has completed extensive continuing education. She regularly travels to learn from national and international educators and therapists. Her continued interests are the study of dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation (DNS), fascial research and treatment, and the science behind movement behaviour and control. She is a senior level member of the Association of Massage Therapists and a Level 4 Professional Member of Pilates Association Australia.
Jo established Cygnet Pilates Studio in 2011 in response to a call from the local community. The studio offers one-to-one manual and movement rehabilitation sessions, along with small group sessions. Her passion is to help people move with more ease, strength and balance, so that they can continue to do the things they love. She feels privileged to be able to provide this service to the beautiful community of Cygnet.
