Welcome to our website

PULCE is led by leading Australian physiotherapists Dr Alison Thorpe, Specialist Sports Physiotherapist (as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists 2009) and Dr Sonia Ranelli, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist.

We aim to provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and management for upper limb conditions.

We work closely with medical specialists (surgeons, sport and exercise medicine physicians, rheumatologists, pain specialists, general practitioners), allied healthcare providers (other physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists) and insurers to provide expert advice and care for people with a range of upper limb conditions. We liaise and refer onto other members of the healthcare team when required.

We offer holistic, person-centred rehabilitation programs for shoulder, hand, wrist and elbow problems. We help people across the lifespan from children to adults, recreational to elite athletes, performing arts and work-related injuries.
