Meet The Norwest Physio Team

Angela Thomas

Physiotherapist

Angela is a physiotherapist with over four decades of experience, having started her private practice in 1978. Angela is known for her no-nonsense, straight-talking approach—she doesn't sugarcoat anything and gets straight to what works. Having seen countless trends come and go, she now focuses on proven methods that deliver real results - with extensive training in acupuncture, soft tissue releases, and Clinical Pilates. 

In particular, Angela loves to help seniors in the Hills District reclaim their confidence and independence.

When not in the clinic she continues to skilfully and creatively use her hands doing pottery, gardening or baking.

Wesley Adora

Physiotherapist & Practice Manager

Wesley is a physiotherapist driven by a deep passion and dedication to results, being highly versatile in having pursued extensive post-graduate professional development.

He has a special interest in ACL injuries and helping active people frustrated by difficult shoulder pain.

His expertise also extends to dry needling, Clinical Pilates and athletic strength and conditioning, allowing him to create tailored treatment plans that address that root cause of each issue.

When not in the clinic he enjoys playing ultimate frisbee, cooking the perfect steak, playing the guitar and serving at his local church in Willoughby.

Ainsley Byrne

Physiotherapist

Ainsley loves helping people move better and feel confident in their bodies. Having been part of our team since 2021, she has a special interest in sports injuries, paediatric physiotherapy, and women's health—including incontinence, pelvic pain, and pre/postpartum care. Her excellent hands-on skills and warm nature help patients feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues and working towards their goals.

Ainsley's journey with our clinic has come full circle—she was once a patient of Angela's during her childhood, giving her a unique appreciation for the patient experience. When not in the clinic, she enjoys playing soccer and discovering new cafes around Sydney.

Rufus and Rusty

Customer Experience Managers

Meet Rufus and Rusty, our two resident cavoodles. They have a knack for brightening everyone's day with their playful antics and wagging tails. Their warm presence adds a fun touch to the atmosphere, reminding us that sometimes the best medicine can also come with four paws and a wagging tail!
... Just make sure to pat them on the way in.
