Lisa Johnson

Lisa has been a practising physiotherapist since graduating from the University of Sydney in
1992 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy). Over the course of her career, she has gained extensive experience across a range of physiotherapy specialties, working at John Hunter Hospital, Royal Rehabilitation Centre, and Mona Vale Hospital. While at Mona Vale Hospital, Lisa took on the role of Team Leader and was also appointed as an Adjunct Lecturer with the University of Sydney in recognition of
her contributions as a clinical supervisor for physiotherapy students.

Lisa’s journey into Vestibular Physiotherapy began over 10 years ago at On-Balance
Physiotherapy, under the mentorship of Pamela Reynolds. She is passionate about ongoing professional development and is committed to applying the latest evidence-based practices to support her clients’ recovery and well-being. Since commencing at On-Balance Physiotherapy, Lisa has completed several advanced courses, including Advances in Vestibular Rehabilitation and the Level 2 Watson Headache
Course. She also attends the NOTSA Conference (Multidisciplinary Vestibular Conference)
annually to stay updated with the latest developments in the field.

A proud Northern Beaches local, Lisa enjoys spending time at the beach with her family,
walking her dog, and paddle boarding during the summer months. In winter, she manages her
youngest daughter’s soccer team and loves the occasional ski trip—her favourite being a
memorable holiday to Japan.

Lisa consults at Simba Health North Curl Curl on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays providing patients located on the Northern Beaches with the opportunity for local access to high quality Vestibular Rehabilitation.

Lisa joined On-Balance Physiotherapy in 2014 and is a very experienced Physiotherapist who transferred from the public system where she was a Team Leader at Mona Vale Hospital. She is keenly pursuing her interest in headaches, dizziness and balance disorders and has completed both, the internationally recognised, Basic and Advanced Herdman Vestibular Rehabilitation Courses as well as the Foundation and Level 2 Watson Headache Institute courses. Lisa has developed considerable expertise in this professional specialization that incorporates Vestibular Rehabilitation, neck related dizziness and balance disorders.
