Lucinda (Lucy) Monagle

Physiotherapist

Lucy was drawn to physiotherapy following of a desire to make a real difference in peoples’ lives. Born and bred in Melbourne, she completed her Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Physiotherapy Practice at La Trobe University. Lucy loves to connect with patients and strives to provide care that incorporates the highest quality evidence with the needs of each individual client.
Lucy has experience in hospital and private practice settings, and utilises the knowledge and skills developed in these settings with her own experience in dance, pole, and circus arts. She believes that physiotherapy management is a collaboration between client and practitioner, and aims to utilise her  manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education in combination with each client’s lived experience to provide high quality evidence-based individualised care.
Lucy is a huge advocate of clinical pilates, having benefitted from it herself in managing persistent pain. She has undertaken APPI training for all levels of mat and equipment-based pilates, and aims to incorporate it into a variety of treatments, from injury rehabilitation to improving overall body awareness.
Lucy has developed a passion for working with clients experiencing chronic conditions. She has experience working with clients with chronic condition management plans (also known as CCGPMPs or EPCs), and strives to provide the greatest impact during the limited medicare-subsidised sessions. She is committed to understanding patient goals and preferences, and incorporating this into her management plans.
Outside of work, Lucy is dedicated to being the cool aunt to her niece and nephew, and has a love of all things baking-related.  You can usually find her hanging upside down at a circus studio, spinning hula hoops in her backyard, or chasing her corgi Millie across a park.
