Experienced Qualis Health physios focus on PREVENTION as well as CURE

One of Australia’s most experienced physiotherapists now calls Torquay home.

After a 24-year career in physiotherapy, university teaching and highperformance sport, Stuart Canavan and his business partner and wife Leesa (also a physiotherapist) have returned to the area of his childhood and the location of one of their first dates over 25 years ago.

“The Torquay and the Surf Coast area with its natural beauty fosters an active lifestyle and has retained a strong sense of community,” Stuart said.

“For Leesa and I these qualities are very important in the place that we call home and have chosen to operate our practice.”

After starting and developing one of Australia’s largest independent physiotherapy, high school-based sports academies and allied health clinics in Melbourne over 18 years ago, Stuart and Leesa are excited to offer unique, quality, proven approaches and industry leading programs to assist people with pain offering a clear diagnosis and treatment plan, to aid individuals and athletes recovering from surgery or injury and more importantly offer advanced programs that focus on the prevention of injury in our children and adolescents.

“Great healthcare and performance programs should focus on the prevention of illness or injury in the community not just treatment when something does go wrong.

“This is a key focus for Qualis Health.” Stuart and Leesa have extensive experience in the injury management and prevention of adolescent athletes and have a proven record for significantly reducing the risk of ACL injuries in young athletes.

They have assisted in the long-term athletic development of thousands of high-school-aged athletes, from those who wish to be active all the way to elite pathway programs.
