Jessica Shirley
Senior Physiotherapist | BSc | Director, Pursuit Physiotherapy
With over a decade in physiotherapy, Jessica Shirley’s work sits at the intersection of complex cardiorespiratory care and long-term neurological rehab. As the Director of Pursuit Physiotherapy, she balances clinical leadership with a heavy caseload, focusing on patients whose conditions require more than a standard treatment plan.
Her approach was shaped in the high-pressure environment of the hospital system—managing everything from cystic fibrosis care to heart-lung transplant recovery. That background in intensive care and respiratory research provided the technical foundation she now applies to community-based therapy. Today, that looks like navigating the complexities of home ventilation, mobility support, and NDIS funding for clients with profound disability needs.
It’s about the practicalities of daily life: getting an assistive technology assessment right, optimising respiratory equipment, and building the physical confidence a client needs to actually move and breathe better.
