Belinda Schnellenberg
Belinda is the Founder and Director of Ready Steady Rehab and is passionate about helping older adults and people living with disability achieve meaningful goals through personalised, home-based physiotherapy. After graduating from La Trobe University in 2012, Belinda spent more than a decade working across acute tertiary and rehabilitation hospitals in Melbourne, Sydney and London (UK). Her broad clinical experience includes senior roles in aged care, rehabilitation and neurological physiotherapy, providing her with extensive expertise in managing complex presentations and supporting clients through all stages of their rehabilitation journey. Belinda has a particular interest in falls prevention, mobility and balance retraining, neurological rehabilitation, and helping clients maintain their independence within the community. During her time in London, she further developed her expertise in stroke rehabilitation, working in a senior capacity within a large subacute stroke unit. While Belinda valued her years working in hospitals, she discovered her true passion in home-based physiotherapy. She believes the most meaningful and rewarding rehabilitation occurs in a client own environment, where therapy can be tailored to the activities, challenges and goals that matter most to them. Belinda loves working alongside clients in their homes, creating personalised and engaging treatment programs that build confidence, maximise independence and improve quality of life. Outside of Ready Steady Rehab, Belinda is a proud mum to three young children. She loves cooking up a storm, socialising with friends, skiing the slopes and going on new travel adventures.

She has worked as community physiotherapist in Melbourne and London, working as a home visiting physiotherapist at Monash Health for 15 years. She more recently spent 4 years living in Metung, Victoria for a Tree Change with her family where she worked and further expanded her clinical skills at the local regional hospital.

Anna prides herself on being an excellent listener and communicator, taking the time to build a solid rapport with all her clients. With this foundation she is able to provide her clients with a personal, motivating approach which ensures their needs and wishes are the centre of our physio program and allows for most effective home based care. Anna has 3 children, so when she is not driving Mum Taxi she loves to garden, cook, exercise and when she can escape the city bustle for a camping trip by the beach or in the bush with her family.
Physiotherapist
Natalie Ly
Nat studied physiotherapy at La Trobe University, and started her career at The Royal Melbourne Hospital where she was trained in areas such as neurological, orthopaedic, cardiorespiratory, and geriatric rehabilitation, as well as general surgery and emergency. It was here that she found her passion for community physiotherapy, in particular working with older adults. She loves getting to know her patients well – their stories, their lives, and how she can make a difference in their day to day. She feels a deep sense of reward when her patient tells her that they have been able to do things they have not previously been able to – such as bend over to pick up a pen from the ground. She loves that the little things like this make a huge impact on people lives. Her special interests include geriatrics, hip and knee replacements, and Parkinson Disease. In her personal life, Nat is an avid but terrible surfer, plant mum, and most recently is learning how to knit – with a few hot tips from her patients.
