Sandra O’Connell brings over 30 years of physiotherapy experience to the Greater Albury and Wodonga region. Graduating from the University of Toronto, Canada, Sandra has dedicated her career to helping clients live pain-free and active lives. Her main focus is you — the client. She believes everyone deserves to enjoy life without pain holding them back.
Sandra’s approach is holistic, treating the whole body rather than just symptoms. She pays special attention to posture and pelvic alignment, which play a crucial role in many pain issues. Her treatments combine hands-on manual therapy with personalised home exercise programs designed to support your recovery and keep you moving well long after your sessions.
Sandra offers a range of effective manual therapy techniques that are gentle yet powerful. These include painless trigger-point releases, massage, joint mobilisation, and manual traction. When needed, she includes stretching and strengthening exercises to complement your therapy.
Sandra understands the unique needs of older clients and provides home visits to residential aged care facilities and private homes. She specialises in assessing and treating balance problems and falls, using targeted exercise programs to improve safety and mobility. Sandra is also DVA accredited, offering services to veterans under the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
For clients needing extra support, Sandra uses taping techniques to help limit or assist natural body movements. This can improve performance in both athletic and work settings. She also provides advice on back support, especially for seating at home or in the car, helping you maintain good posture throughout your day.
Sandra welcomes all clients without the need for a doctor’s referral, as she operates as a primary-care provider. However, Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) patients will require a referral. EPC clients receive bulk billing for their treatments, making physiotherapy accessible and affordable.
For convenience, the clinic accepts HICAPS payments, so you can claim on the spot with your private health insurance. If you have any questions or want to book a consultation, Sandra encourages you to call her directly at 0429-314-855.
Sandra’s vast experience and caring, personalised approach make her stand out. She listens closely to your concerns and treats you with respect and compassion. Her goal is to help you understand your body and empower you to take control of your recovery. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking for expert aged care support, Sandra is ready to help you move forward, pain-free and stronger than before.
