Adrian Persi, Practice Principal

Although Adrian is not currently treating in a hands on capacity, he still heads up the team at Back in Motion, Wantirna South as the Practice Principal, a job which he juggles perfectly whilst staying committed to his responsibilities as the Network Practice Manager overseeing our Blackburn South, Tecoma & Clayton practices as well as our corporate division, Actif.  Adrian is the ultimate “go to” man when in need of some friendly advice, whether it is in regards to an injury, career path, a personal situation or simply his footy tips for the weekend.  Nothing puts a bigger smile on Adrian’s face than seeing his old clients in the reception area and having a quick catch up, it definitely makes all of the hard work and long hours, WORTH IT!

Alex Drew, Clinical Associate Physiotherapist

(Monday 6.00pm – Muscles in Motion Class Leader)

Alex's passion for Physiotherapy is evident and almost contagious from your very first meeting with him.  If there is anything he does not know about a certain injury, be certain it will not be for very long, as soon as a task or challenge is presented Alex tackles it head on and presents 100% on the topic.  Sports injuries are Alex's specialty as he volunteers for the AFL team the Kangaroos (yes, he is a supporter, even though he is a Western Australian) as Physiotherapist for the team on top of his full time position at Back in Motion, Wantirna South.

Erin Nicholas (E.J – Erin Junior), Reception & Administration

Erin first presented to Back in Motion as a patient, and basically never left! On any given day you can always find at least one of Erin's family members in our clinic receiving Physiotherapy treatment or in a Pilates class, they are now all honorary members of the Back in Motion team! Erin has successfully completed Diploma of Medical Administration and can more often than not, be found sharing a giggle in the reception area with our clients.  Erin's moto in life is simple, "everyone deserves music - sweet, sweet music!" and in her time away from work, she loves taking time out with her family and friends - and spends all of her money on tickets to music festivals and handbags from the Kate Hill store!!
