Lorraine Favaretto Lorraine Favaretto is available at Jaw Freedom in Redcliffe: https://jawfreedom.com.au/ 0493138631
She qualified as a physiotherapist in 1990 from King's College Hospital London. She consolidated her knowledge in all areas of hospital medicine before developing a special interest in musculo-skeletal physiotherapy. A working holiday in Australia saw her employed at Brisbane City Physiotherapy where she discovered the world of craniomandibular disorders under the mentorship of Kerry Read.
As a competitive tennis player herself, Lorraine was heavily involved in sports medicine and returned to the UK to work with professional sailing teams. Her exceptional skills in craniomandibular work were soon recognised by the oral surgical team at Windsor's Princess Margaret Hospital. Skills in this area were a rarity and she developed a niche practice there.
Moving on to gain experience working with the British military and in Accident and Emergency, she was able to improve patient outcomes by providing forward thinking management of acute injuries. She then became Lead Physiotherapist for the Solent Musculo-Skeletal Service working closely with the specialist Solent Pain Team under Dr Cathy Price, Lorraine's passion for helping those with ongoing pain involved several research studies looking at physiotherapy interaction within treatments for chronic pain.
Using a holistic approach, a gentle touch and a wealth of experience, Lorraine's work incorporates myofascial release, joint mobilisations, cranio-sacral therapy, exercise prescription and self management strategies. These have been influenced by the work of Brian Mulligan, Mariano Rocobado, Robin McKenzie, Kerry Read, Geoff Maitland, Francine St George and Dean Watson.
The lure of the sun, sand and surf has again seen her return to our shores to set up home in Queensland with her husband and two children. We are delighted that she is able to join us on the Headline Team offering her wide scope of skills and her ever gentle hands, for the full range of craniomandibular disorders including jaw, head and neck issues, vertigo and dizziness.
