Tracy Woodward - Principal Physiotherapist
Tracy completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at La Trobe University in Victoria in 1995 and has been in the industry since. Her experience is vast, having worked in one of Melbourne’s major teaching hospitals, as a consultant physiotherapist for two VFL football teams, as a chief physiotherapist in two aged care facilities, running hydrotherapy classes and working in private practice. Since 2006, Tracy has worked alongside her husband Paul as a principal practitioner at our Doubleview and East Perth physiotherapy centres.
Tracy is a passionate and dedicated “hands on” practitioner with a gentle and caring nature. Tracy has a special affinity with her elderly clients of which she has a large and loyal following.
Tracy also has a keen interest in mastitis and she has provided much needed pain relief to countless new mums over the years with her successful combination of ultrasound therapy and gentle massage. She is well known for her mastitis treatments within the local medical profession and patients travel from all over Perth for mastitis consultations with her.
Tracy gained her Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness from the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers in 2011, making her a fully qualified personal trainer which comes in very handy with exercise prescription!
Tracy juggles physiotherapy with her career as an award winning author of contemporary fiction under the name Tess Woods. She has written three novels so far that are all published internationally with HarperCollins. Tracy's books have all hit the Australian best seller charts and her latest novel, Love and Other Battles, recently sold into Europe for translation.
Tracy is extremely passionate about social justice. She initiated "Meals by Mums" in 2013, a volunteer run project which provides home cooked meals for homeless people in Perth. Meals by Mums has served up over 4,000 individual meals and is still going strong. Tracy spearheaded the West Coast Fiction Festival which raised $18,000 for Share the Dignity to purchase free sanitary product dispensing vending machines for public high schools in Perth's low socioeconomic suburbs. Tracy instigated the #7dollarsfor7years campaign which raised $7,000 for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre and through her author events she has raised $3,800 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation . Tracy is a volunteer mentor to children at Balga Primary School with the 12 Buckets programme and before this she mentored twelve teenage girls at Ballajura Community College. In 2020 Tracy's volunteering commitments were recognised by Rotary Australia.
