Davy and Karen, our founders and directors, share the same passion and burning desire to make a difference to people’s lives.
Here’s their story…
Davy’s humble beginning
Davy grew up with his grandparents and they had a very good relationship. He enjoyed every second of spending time with them – going to the park, playing chess, enjoying a stunning meal prepared by his grandparents, and so much more!
Until one day a disaster happened…
His grandfather suffered from a Stroke, and it was destructive! He couldn’t walk. He was bedbound. He lost his strength and function. He felt useless as he lost the capacity to look after himself. He felt embarrassed as he became a burden on his family. His body was full of pain. The worst part was he lost his Joy because he lost his ability to do what he used to do and what he liked to do.
Luckily…
Thanks to the care of physiotherapists, Davy was amazed to see how physiotherapy can truly transform his grandfather’s life – get stronger, move better, and have more joy as he becomes more pain-free and gains more confidence to do what he is passionate about! It didn’t take him long to decide that physiotherapy was exactly what he wanted to do.
After graduating from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy), Davy continues to dedicate himself to physiotherapy, with a burning passion in the field of pain relief, aging and disability. His mission is to empower as many injured individuals, seniors and NDIS participants as possible to lead a healthy and joyful life.
Get Karen’s side
Karen’s story begins with a retractable nurse watch. It always reminds her of the “Big Why” she would like to become a physiotherapist, changing lives for people with pain, elderly individuals and those with disabilities.
The watch was given by her patient when she was a student, undertaking clinical placement at an aged care rehabilitation ward. The patient had undergone amputation and required a long stay in hospital. The patient was hopeless, frustrated, and joyless. She suffered from a lot of pain and she couldn’t accept that she lost her leg. She was scared that she couldn’t walk again. She lost her joy because she couldn’t do what she would love to do. She lost her happiness as she lost the capacity to look after herself – toileting, showering, and cooking. It was an absolute disaster !
The good news is…
After weeks of daily physiotherapy sessions with Karen, the patients started to have less pain, get stronger, gain more confidence to perform daily living activities, and most importantly, become more joyful as she could walk better and go to watch movies with her daughter. Yeh !
The patient was so happy that she gave a nurse watch to Karen as an expression of gratitude. “Thank you Karen, you have helped me a lot”, the patient told Karen with joyful tears. This melted Karen’s heart and intensified her passion to help elderly people and those who suffer from pain and disabilities.
Thus, Davy and Karen established HealthJoy Therapy together. They would like to empower people with pain, seniors and NDIS participants with Health and Joy, through their person-centered and exceptional therapy.
