Lilly Winters — Physiotherapist for Hypermobility, Strength and Clinical Pilates
Being flexible is not always the same as feeling strong or stable.
If joints feel unreliable, exercise repeatedly flares things up or you are unsure how hard to train, Lilly can help you understand the pattern and build a plan around control, strength and the activities that matter to you.

About Lilly
Lilly Winters is a physiotherapist at Premier Sports Medicine Brunswick with clinical interests in hypermobility, Clinical Pilates, ACL and knee rehabilitation, running injuries, shoulder instability and falls prevention.
She completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy with Distinction at the University of Otago before beginning her career in private practice in Wellington, New Zealand. Her further education includes APPI Clinical Matwork Pilates, EDS ECHO coursework and musculoskeletal and manual-therapy training covering the spine, shoulder, upper limb, hip and knee.
Lilly is particularly interested in helping people who have plenty of movement but struggle to control it. Rather than making flexibility the goal, her approach can focus on understanding which movements feel unstable or provocative, building strength and body awareness, and progressing exercise from a level the person can manage.
Depending on the assessment, Lilly may combine physiotherapy, exercise prescription, Clinical Pilates, movement retraining, manual therapy and return-to-sport planning. The plan is built around what the person needs to get back to—whether that is daily activity, running, gym training, sport or simply trusting a joint again.
Lilly’s approach
Lilly begins by understanding where the problem shows up in real life. That may be a knee that gives way, a shoulder that feels unreliable, a body that tires quickly when holding posture, or uncertainty about which exercises are helping rather than aggravating the problem.
Her assessment can look at relevant movements, strength and control, balance or joint-position awareness, exercise tolerance and the demands of everyday life or sport. She then builds a progressive plan around the person’s current starting point.
Hypermobility Physiotherapy and Strength Assessment
If flexibility is accompanied by recurring pain, instability or uncertainty about exercise, explore an individual assessment and progressive strength pathway with Lilly.
