Barbara Hungerford

PhD, B.App.Sci (Physiotherapy, MAPA, SMA)

Barbara Hungerford, is the Director of Advanced Manual Therapy Associates and Sydney Spine & Pelvis Physiotherapy Centre. She has been a physiotherapist for over 30 years. Her inspiration to improve her own ability to treat peoples back and pelvic led her to extensive study and research including a PhD that investigated the alteration of pelvic biomechanics and muscle recruitment in association with pelvic dysfunction. This was accepted in 2002 and she has since published this research in International Peer reviewed journals (link to amta).

Barbara has been providing courses in Manual Therapy, motor control and exercise rehabilitation since 1995. These courses have evolved with the latest evidence provided by research, as well as recognising the needs of practitioners to improve their diagnostic and hands on skills toward achieving the best treatment outcomes

Peta holds a degree in Exercise & Sports Science and a Masters (Physiotherapy). Peta has worked with Barb Hungerford at SSP Physiotherapy for 6 years and over this time has evolved her interests in the treatment of the pelvis and lower limb injuries, pregnancy related issues, sports specific motor control and muscle retraining. She has also been incremental in creating classes designed to improve cervico-thoracic and upper limb control and advanced lumbo-pelvic control for SSP Physiotherapy. In the past 2 years she has been working with Barb to create a course that integrates the techniques of myofascial release, visceral and neurofascial  releases for the lower quadrant that we presently incorporate into our practice at SSP Physiotherapy.
