​

Megan has worked extensively across elite and professional sport, including roles with the Australian Women’s Cricket Team, Cricket Victoria, and the Melbourne Stars WBBL team. Her work in professional sport has provided significant experience in the recognition and management of sports-related concussion, from acute sideline assessment through to structured rehabilitation and safe return-to-play decision making.

​

Her experience also extends to Tennis Australia, where she worked with athletes at both junior and Grand Slam level tournaments, including the Australian Open. Across these environments Megan has supported athletes with injury management, concussion care, and performance preparation at the highest levels of sport.

At Ringwood Sports Medicine, Megan plays a key leadership role in the clinic’s concussion management and rehabilitation pathways. As Clinical Concussion Lead, she is responsible for guiding best-practice concussion care, ensuring that RSM’s assessment and rehabilitation protocols align with the latest Australian Government concussion position statements and return-to-sport guidelines. Megan works closely with athletes, parents, coaches, and medical practitioners to ensure safe and evidence-based recovery from concussion for both elite athletes and members of the general community.

Megan has developed extensive expertise in the management of persistent post-concussion symptoms, including prolonged headaches, dizziness, cognitive symptoms, anxiety, and exercise intolerance that can occur following concussion. Her approach focuses on individualised rehabilitation programs, combining progressive exercise, symptom management strategies, and coordinated multidisciplinary care when required.

Megan’s physiotherapy career was inspired by her own background as a competitive gymnast. After receiving physiotherapy as a young athlete, she went on to coach Women’s Artistic Gymnastics before pursuing physiotherapy professionally.
