Felicity Campbell is a compassionate and experienced physiotherapist whose personal experiences with chronic pain has guided her learning to become our clinical lead in whiplash treatment and rehabilitation. Felicity also offers specialised assessments and interventions for back, neck and spinal pain, vestibular dysfunction and persistent vertigo.

My Background

Felicity graduated from Curtin University in 2007 and has since worked in various private physiotherapy practices in Perth and London, as well as for the NHS. Her interest in pain management and chronic pain was fueled by her own experience with a severe whiplash injury, cervical disc injury, and losing her father to cancer. This led her to further study and work in different pain clinics in Sydney before joining Painless Health in 2019. Today, she stands as our clinical lead in whiplash treatment and rehabilitation. Felicity also offers specialised assessments and interventions for vestibular dysfunction and persistent vertigo.

My Approach

Felicity's approach to physiotherapy for chronic pain involves understanding her patients' pain experiences and working together to explore their treatment goals. She acknowledges that managing chronic pain is multi-layered and requires the support of other practitioners. Her aim is to inspire confidence and hope by providing practical tools and strategies to help patients better understand their pain, regain movement, and improve their overall function.
