Marie Troja is a physiotherapist with a background in both sport science and clinical physiotherapy. She completed a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at Southern Cross University in 2021, followed by a Doctor of Physiotherapy at Bond University in 2024.
Before physiotherapy, Marie competed as a professional surfer on the international qualifying tour — an experience that gave her deep insight into injury, rehabilitation and the physical and psychological demands of returning to peak performance. This informs how she works with every patient.
Marie has published peer-reviewed research in sports science. She consults from the Cabarita clinic.
Marie’s approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, prioritising movement restoration and long-term function over passive symptom management. She combines hands-on therapy with structured, progressive exercise rehabilitation — designed around each patient’s goals and lifestyle.
She uses objective measures — strength testing with dynamometry and movement analysis software — to track progress and ensure rehabilitation is progressing appropriately. This gives patients clear, concrete evidence of their improvement.
Having experienced significant injury and rehabilitation as a professional athlete, Marie has personal insight into what recovery requires: consistency, structured progression, and rebuilding trust in your body.
