Jess Hurley

Jess graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Physiotherapy Practice. Following this, Jess commenced working in paediatric physiotherapy specifically, in early intervention and NDIS. Jess has since worked exclusively in paediatrics in public health including Monash Children’s Hospital, Peninsula Health and Eastern Health. Jess has a broad range of skills and has worked with children of all ages with a variety of conditions. This includes premature infants in the special care nursery through to adolescents who may have a neurological condition or require rehabilitation following a fracture.

Jess is particularly interested in supporting infants with developmental delay and children of all ages with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Jess believes that therapy should be goal-directed, fun and family centred. Assessment and treatment should be individualised to suit the child and family to achieve the best outcomes.
