Amanda Davis
I have always been drawn to the big questions in life, and being of service to others was never going to be a short-term thing for me. I began my career as a physiotherapist in Sydney, then went overseas and worked in the UK. Once I was home and settled into private practice, it did not take long to see that health and healing held far more than my university training had covered.
That is what pulled me towards nutrition and into studying kinesiology, at the same time as I opened my own clinic, Back In Balance Physiotherapy, in Collaroy on Sydney's northern beaches. Treating the whole person was the whole point of that practice, and I brought holistic nutrition and kinesiology into a physiotherapy setting long before that was common.
I have since moved to the Byron Bay Shire and completed my GAPS Certification, which lets me bring gut health, detoxification and lifestyle change into sessions. Chronic pain and disease are where my passion sits now: walking alongside people as they work towards better health, a stronger sense of self and steadier balance in daily life.

How the pieces fit together
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy brings together hands-on treatment, prescribed movement and education. The purpose is straightforward: helping your body move and work at its best, with mobility, function and a better sense of wellbeing as the goal.

Kinesiology uses gentle muscle monitoring to reach the subconscious mind and gather clear information about what is happening for you now, so the underlying cause of an imbalance can be found and worked with.
Learn more →Certified GAPS Practitioner
GAPS is a structured nutritional protocol built around gut health, which sits underneath so many health conditions. It works through diet, supplementation and detoxification.
