Meet the Team: Bobbie French! 👋

If you see me around Timboon or Port Campbell, I’m usually the one chasing a "little foxy" dog, coaching at the pool, or cheering on the Demons! 🔴⚪️

I’m Bobbie, and I’ve been part of the clinical team in Colac since 2005. I live just west of Timboon on a busy 10-acre patch with my partner, two teenagers, 9 chooks, and a big garden that keeps me on my toes. 🌿🐓

What I love about my work: I truly enjoy the variety of people I meet and the unique health challenges we solve together. Over the years, I’ve developed a special interest in:

🌟Foot & Ankle health (sprains, tendinopathy, and osteoarthritis).

🌟Post-Breast Cancer Care (helping with changes like hardening, asymmetry and scar discomfort, and shoulder mobility).

🌟Spinal & Shoulder stability through targeted exercise.

Coming up in 2026: I’m particularly excited to be heading off in May for advanced training in Post-Concussion Syndrome. I’m looking forward to bringing those skills back to help locals recovering from falls or accidents.

Whether it’s on the footy field, at Nippers, or in the clinic—I look forward to seeing you around!

Bobbie is available Tuesday and Fridays.

Note: Bobbie focuses on manual therapy and does not use dry needling in her treatments.
