About me

I’m Claudia Rizzo, a Senior Physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience in paediatrics. I am passionate about teaching and supporting health professionals to develop their skills so they can better help children around the world.

I am a curious and determined person who is always looking for new tools, ideas, and approaches to improve both my teaching and the way we support children with different needs. I am a Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) Instructor teaching across Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. I love sharing knowledge and empowering paediatric physiotherapists with practical tools to deliver active, meaningful, and effective therapy programs.

I also teach and mentor therapists in the Basic Fundamentals of the Spider Cage, and I will soon become a NISE-Stim Instructor as well.

My approach is centred on helping children participate in meaningful activities through clear goals and measurable outcomes. I specialise in finding therapeutic solutions that support alignment, movement, confidence, and participation in everyday life.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two beautiful children and a dog lover. The beautiful Australian beaches are my favourite place to relax and recharge with my family.
