OUR TEAM

Chris Tandy

Director | Physiotherapist

Why did you become a Physiotherapist?

Well I wanted to become an Airforce Pilot but an injury of my own changed my mind! I am thank-ful for this as I now love what I do helping people get back to doing what they love!

Where did you study?

I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy and Masters of Sports Physiotherapy at La Trobe University in Melbourne.

Interesting things you have done in your career?

I have worked in a number of areas and locations. On graduating I spent an 18 month period working in the Public Health Sector working across surgical wards and even a small stint in the intensive care unit (ICU). My love of sport drove me to a career in the Private Sector and Sporting Organisations.

I have been fortunate to work with Essendon FC with their VFL team and more recently as a team Physio for Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club. A highlight was winning the premiership in my first year in 2017 and during the COVID Hub year in 2020.

What do you do to keep fit?

I enjoy running. Having bombed out doing a Marathon in 2016 running 4Hours and 5 minutes here in Melbourne, I have pencilled in 2022 as my next challenge to complete the Melbourne Marathon in under 3Hours + 30mins

Favourite thing to do outside of work?

Spending time with my family- Wife Laura and Son Elliot and our crazy Hungarian Viszla Gracie.

Daniel Gilham

Physiotherapist

Why did you become a Physiotherapist?

Having experienced an ACL injury of my own, I became interested in the profession and fell in love with helping people get back to what they love

Interesting things you have done in your career?

Funny enough I haven’t been a Physiotherapist for long! My first career was as an Electrician before I decided to go back and complete further studies! So you might say I am good at sparking up a good conversation and will bring the energy as your Physiotherapist! HAHA

What do you do to keep fit?

I participate regularly in Powerlifting training and will be having my first competitive lift in 2022!

Favourite thing to do outside of work?

I love my heavy metal music and spending time with my partner and fur babies!

Aimee Mooney

Physiotherapist

Why did you become a Physiotherapist?

After I left high school, I had the opportunity to work at Casey Scorpians as a Sports trainer, I worked alongside physios, and I fell in love with the ability to help people through physical exercise. I changed my study pathway and now here I am.

Interesting things you have done in your career?

Worked for Softball Queensland in an National under 16s competition, tournament physio with Tennis Australia. Currently I’m the Rehab physio at the Western Bulldogs with the VFLW team, whom were grand finalists in 2024, a really amazing experience to be apart of!

What do you do to keep fit?

I love playing sport especially netball and Footy (AFL, the proper footy). I recently ran a half marathon and plan on moving into my triathlon/marathon running era!

Favourite thing to do outside of work?

Paddle boarding and relaxing at the beach in the warmer months and reading all year round. I have a very long list of books I want to get through, which takes up a lot of my time.
