Early in her career, she developed a keen interest in helping athletes recover and perform at their best, leading her to specialize in this field.
Her active participation in a wide range of sports—including long-distance running, mountain biking, spinning, river canoeing, sprint canoeing, weight training, Pilates, netball, and later, golf—has deepened her understanding of how to adapt physiotherapy treatments and training programs. Villene focuses on helping athletes train smartly and recover efficiently, minimizing unnecessary downtime and promoting long-term health.
Throughout her career, Villene has had the privilege of working with various teams and sports individuals across different disciplines, including long-distance running, rugby, soccer, ballet, netball, canoeing, triathlons, and youth golfers.

Villene is committed to lifelong learning, continuously enhancing her skills through a wide array of continuing education courses. She has researched and implemented various therapeutic techniques and tools, allowing her to offer the most effective treatments for her patients.

Now in private practice, Villene treats a variety of musculoskeletal and biomechanical injuries, specializing in sports-related and spine injuries. She also dedicates time to mentoring and training fellow physiotherapists, sharing her expertise and passion for rehabilitating and correcting movement patterns.
