Bethany Kippen - Physiotherapist.

Bethany Kippen.
(nee Dick)

Bachelor of Physiotherapy, James Cook University, 2021.

Bethany graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from James Cook University in Townsville in 2021. Originally from North Queensland, she relocated to Brisbane in early 2022, initially providing mobile physiotherapy services before moving into private practice — where she has found her genuine passion for helping patients achieve lasting improvements in their health and function.
Bethany's approach goes well beyond symptom management. She conducts thorough assessments of each patient's condition, history and lifestyle to understand the full picture, then builds personalised, evidence-based treatment plans that address not just the presenting problem but the factors most likely to prevent it recurring. Giving patients the tools, understanding and confidence to manage their own health is central to everything she does in the clinic.

Special interests
Bethany has developed particular expertise across several clinical areas:

• Shoulder conditions — acute injuries, subacromial impingement, rotator cuff repair and shoulder reconstruction rehabilitation
• Knee pain — ACL injuries (operative and non-operative), meniscal tears and patellofemoral pain
• Thoracic pain
• Hip and ankle conditions
• Orthopaedic post-surgical rehabilitation
• Dry needling

Bethany's professional development reflects a genuine commitment to neurological and complex presentations alongside her musculoskeletal work — she has completed training in stroke awareness, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis fatigue management, neurodegenerative conditions, and vestibular rehabilitation, making her well placed to manage the neurological presentations that sometimes sit alongside or underlie musculoskeletal complaints. She also has specific training in mastitis and engorgement management through the Australian Breastfeeding Association, and completed her Pilates Equipment Intensive Levels 1, 2 and 3 in 2024.

Bethany is trained in dry needling and uses it as a targeted adjunct to her manual therapy and exercise-based treatment approach — particularly for thoracic pain, shoulder conditions and post-surgical myofascial presentations.

Outside the clinic, Bethany keeps busy running, getting her stand-up paddleboard to the beach, working through a good murder mystery novel, and taking her greyhound Benji for walks.
