Janelle Tam Physiotherapy – Empowering Movement, Restoring Function

About Janelle

Janelle Tam is a dedicated physiotherapist who brings an international perspective and a personalised approach to client care. Originally from Canada, she completed her Bachelor of Science with a specialisation in Kinesiology at Queen’s University. She then pursued her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta, equipping her with a strong foundation in both movement science and clinical practice.

Since moving into private practice, Janelle has continued to expand her skillset. She holds certification in Functional Dry Needling, and she has completed training in the Mulligan Concept of Manual Therapy, a hands-on approach known for producing immediate improvements in movement and pain. These additional qualifications allow her to offer a more diverse and responsive treatment plan to meet each patient’s individual needs.

In addition to her clinical expertise, Janelle is fluent in both English and Cantonese, which enables her to support a broader patient population and communicate clearly with those from varied cultural backgrounds.

Services Offered

Janelle provides a well-rounded physiotherapy service that incorporates multiple treatment methods tailored to each person’s lifestyle, goals, and level of physical function.

Manual Therapy
Using gentle joint mobilisations and movement-based techniques like the Mulligan Concept, Janelle helps clients restore mobility and reduce discomfort. These approaches are particularly effective for joint stiffness, musculoskeletal pain, and movement restrictions.

Dry Needling
Janelle is trained in Functional Dry Needling, a method that targets muscular trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. It can be especially useful for chronic muscle tightness, sports-related injuries, and nerve pain.

Exercise Rehabilitation
Every client receives a customised home exercise programme, designed to complement hands-on treatment and suit their lifestyle. These programmes aim to build strength, support long-term recovery, and promote independence in managing one’s condition.

Education and Goal Setting
Janelle places strong emphasis on patient education. She believes that helping people understand their condition is the first step toward recovery. By setting realistic, meaningful goals together, she empowers her patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation journey.

Additional Information

Janelle’s approach to physiotherapy is both compassionate and collaborative. She takes the time to listen, understand her clients’ concerns, and work with them at their own pace. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or aiming to improve overall function, Janelle provides a supportive and motivating environment.

Currently practising in Cairns, Janelle welcomes both new and returning patients, including self-referred clients and those referred by GPs or specialists. Her sessions are designed to be practical, engaging, and effective — helping people return not just to movement, but to the activities that matter most to them.

If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who blends clinical expertise with empathy and cultural understanding, Janelle Tam is well equipped to guide you towards better health and movement.
