Priya Desai

Physiotherapist

Priya Desai completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy in India in 2022 and went on to work in a private practice for two years, where she developed a strong foundation in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. During this time, she gained experience working with dancers and marathon runners, further fuelling her passion for performance-based rehabilitation and injury prevention.

In 2024, Priya moved to Adelaide to pursue her Master of Advanced Clinical Physiotherapy (Musculoskeletal) at the University of South Australia, where she further refined her skills in clinical reasoning, chronic pain management, and evidence-based treatment approaches.

Priya has a special interest in musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in active populations including dancers and endurance athletes. She is also passionate about strength and conditioning, functional rehabilitation, and tailored exercise prescription to help individuals return to what they love doing, stronger and more resilient than before.

Priya is certified in dry needling and taping techniques, and enjoys integrating a hands-on and movement-based approach into her treatment plans.

Outside of work, Priya enjoys doing creative things, exploring new beaches, watching sunsets, travelling and trying new cuisines.

Priya joined the team in September 2025 and will be working at our Lakelands clinic
