Kye Conna

Physiotherapist 

Bachelor of Sports and Exercise Management – UTS | Master of Physiotherapy – University of Sydney

Kye’s journey at Bodyworks started during his undergraduate placement, and he was hooked from day one. He initially joined the team as a Sports and Exercise Therapist before completing his Masters of Physiotherapy at Sydney University, adding hands-on manual therapy to his already strong foundation in athletic assessment and performance.

As an ex semi-professional footballer, Kye gets it, whether you’re an O45s weekend warrior or chasing your Lionel Messi moment, he’ll help you get there. He’s equally passionate about concussion management (something he can personally relate to) and helping people of all ages stay active and independent.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Kye surfing, running trail marathons, on the golf course or lining up for Pittwater FC in Premier League football.

Dr. Cooper Cole

Physiotherapist

Doctorate of Physiotherapy – Macquarie University | Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science – UTS

Cooper grew up competing at elite-level tennis, and knows first-hand how much an injury can take from you, physically and mentally. That experience is at the core of his approach: get to the root cause, not just the symptoms, so your pain goes away and stays away.

With a background spanning sports, orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation, Cooper delivers individualised care that combines effective hands-on therapy with targeted exercise. He’s our resident tennis and Pickleball expert, a passionate advocate for healthy ageing, and the man to see for any stubborn elbow or shoulder issue. He also runs our Well-Balanced falls prevention program and shoulder classes, because everyone deserves to hang the washing without wincing.

Lauren Bourgeois

Physiotherapist 

Bachelor of Physiotherapy – Australian Catholic University

Lauren is a passionate physio with a particular love for concussion rehabilitation and lower limb injuries, especially knees. As an AFL player who has personally navigated two ACL reconstructions, she brings a level of empathy and insight to rehab that is genuinely hard to teach.

Lauren blends hands-on treatment with exercise therapy and biomechanical principles, tailoring every session to the individual, whether that’s returning to sport, building strength, or simply moving through daily life with more confidence. She also leads a range of Pilates classes at Bodyworks after recently completing her Reformer Pilates Qualification. A Kokoda Trail finisher and dedicated volunteer with Surf Lifesaving Australia and AFL Sydney, Lauren’s energy and warmth have a way of making everything hurt just a little bit less from the very first hello.

Max Evans 

Physiotherapist

Bachelor of Physiotherapy – Australian Catholic University

Max’s love for physiotherapy started early, as a state-level long distance runner, he spent enough time on the treatment table to know exactly what good care looks like. That experience drives his passion for running injuries, lower limb biomechanics and orthotic prescription, and his commitment to finding solutions that actually stick.

Since joining Bodyworks, Max has continued to develop his manual therapy skills and is equally at home treating elite athletes as he is helping someone get off the couch without wincing. He also runs our popular Wave Warriors program, a surf-specific class targeting strength, flexibility and balance for surfers (especially handy for tradies whose backs take a beating before they even hit the water).

Alice Tarnawski

Senior Physiotherapist & Pilates Instructor

Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) – University of Sydney

Alice is a Senior Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor and Women’s Health therapist with a passion for getting to the root cause of pain and dysfunction. She combines hands-on techniques with functional exercise, including real-time ultrasound for pelvic floor and core assessment, to deliver lasting results for both men and women.

Alice has a particular interest in concussion, developed through her career as an Australian representative sailor. She has delivered concussion education seminars to sporting clubs and competed in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and Farr 40 World Championships. When she’s not on the water, you’ll find her in the gym, on the Pilates reformer, or out for a walk.

Millie Suters

Senior Physiotherapist & Pilates Instructor

Bachelor of Physiotherapy – ACU | Certified in Pre-Pointe and Dance Injury Assessment

Millie joined Bodyworks as a final-year student on clinical placement, and never really left! Her natural fit with the Bodyworks approach led to an immediate full-time role, and she has since built a loyal client following across both the Warriewood and Terrey Hills clinics.

With additional qualifications in Pilates and Ballet Pre-Pointe assessment, Millie brings a unique blend of clinical skill and movement expertise. A former National Finalist in Physical Culture who trained with the Australian Ballet School, she has a genuine passion for helping people move beautifully and stay injury-free.
