BARANGAROO PHYSIOTHERAPY

PAULINA BACKIEL

Physiotherapist

Paulina graduated from Macquarie University with a Doctor of Physiotherapy. She is originally from Vancouver BC Canada where she grew up on the mountains skiing or distance running in the trails. Her passion for distance running lead her towards her interest in lower limb injuries, prevention, and running biomechanics.
During her time at University, Paulina worked alongside Podiatrists at Running Science as a professional running shoe fitter, gaining experience in analysing gait patterns of runners. As an athlete herself, she recognises the impact injuries have on an athlete and the importance of safe return to sport.

When not treating as a Physio, you can find Paulina running with multiple run clubs all over Sydney, including pacing Sydney Harbour Runners, coaching Boobs on the Run or leading our very own run club – Run The Streets.
