Marissa Hilotina

Physiotherapist

Marissa’s career is built on a foundation of professional excellence and a deep-seated belief in compassionate care. Graduating as a full scholar from a top university in the Philippines, she spent years mastering her craft in both private practice and hospital settings. This comprehensive background made her an expert in treating a vast range of conditions, from sports injuries to the most complex inpatient needs.

Upon moving to Australia in 2017, Marissa seamlessly integrated her skills into new environments like private practice, aged care, and community sports. She further enhanced her expertise by completing her Graduate Diploma in Clinical Rehabilitation at Flinders University in South Australia. This has given her a unique and valuable perspective, allowing her to confidently tackle even the most complex cases across the spectrum, whether they are in the geriatric, neurological, post-operative, orthopaedic, or musculoskeletal space.

Marissa has a particular interest in areas like the spine, shoulder, and knees, but her skills are not limited to these areas. Marissa excels at these challenges, always with a warm, caring demeanour that makes a real difference in her patients' lives. She believes that rehabilitation is not just about healing an injury, but also about supporting her patients in preventing further injury or pain, allowing them to continue doing what they love.

When she's not helping her patients, Marissa is a homebody at heart. She recharges by focusing on the simple, rewarding pleasures of gardening, baking, and cooking. These personal passions reflect her nurturing spirit, and they perfectly complement the compassionate care she provides professionally.
