CELEBRATING CANBERRA WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Meet Linda, the person behind Canberra small business Linda Oerder Physiotherapy, and her passion and life-long commitment to healing the body through physical therapy. She’s also the driving force behind Health Space Weston, a community of specialised allied health and wellbeing professionals in a shared workspace.

I’ve loved having Linda as a client and capturing images that showcase her beautiful personality. She’s now using these images in her physiotherapy practice and on her website to create personal connections with her clients.

A passion for physiotherapy

I’ve personally known Linda for almost 10 years (thanks to my various ongoing musculoskeletal issues and way too much time spent sitting down). I’ve been consistently impressed with her passion for her profession and the way she supports her patients to achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes. Plus, her warm, bubbly personality makes it easy to laugh with her as she helps you regain movement.

With over 30 years experience in spinal and musculoskeletal dysfunction treatment, Linda is also committed to ongoing education.

“Physiotherapy is constantly evolving – there’s always new techniques and research – so learning new skills is essential,” Linda says.

“I love hearing from leaders in physiotherapy practice. Their research and insights give me fresh perspectives on treatments I can apply with my own clients.

“I also enjoy helping my clients to regain mobility after surgery.”

I can personally vouch for Linda Oerder Physiotherapy’s personalised, evidence-based care approach to her patients. She’s also had a remarkable career spanning over 30 years and 4 continents.

Linda’s Journey

Linda Oerder graduated from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa in 1993, and worked as a locum physiotherapist in both the USA and the UK. She says this international experience was invaluable in understanding the diverse needs of her clients.

Linda returned to South Africa and worked in various private practices before opening her own physiotherapy clinic in Johannesburg, where she worked over the next decade. In 2010, she embarked on a new adventure – moving with her family to Australia.

A New Chapter in Canberra & Linda Oerder Physiotherapy

After arriving here, Linda passed her foreign physiotherapy conversion exams and spent the next five years working at the Southside Physio at Tuggeranong (which is where I first met her).

In January 2018, Linda began the latest chapter of her career, creating Health Space Weston and her Linda Oerder Physiotherapy practice.

Beyond the Clinic

Outside of her professional life, Linda spends her downtime with her husband and two grown children. She loves to travel, exploring new destinations and returning to her beloved South African bushveld.

As an avid runner, Linda has completed three half-marathons and participated in the City2Surf in Sydney 6 times.

Health Space Weston

Health Space Weston, at the Coolemon Court shopping centre, is a shared workspace for allied health professionals. Its serviced rooms allow health practitioners to work alongside each other as part of a community.

I’ve always been struck by the warmth and atmosphere of Health Space when I attend my appointments. As a patient, the vibe is warm, laid back and relaxed. Linda and the other practitioners always greet their clients by name and with a smile – like an old friend – and catch up on details of their lives shared during their previous visit.

Personal branding sessions

My business branding photography sessions – like this one – are a strategic investment in your small business or personal brand. My photography captures your personality, style and values to allow your brand or business to shine! It’s also a great way to tell a story about your brand’s identity and vision and create personal connections with your ideal clients.
