Deana Foti
Deana is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who has been in private practice for over 3 years. She completed a degree in sport science in 2015 then completed a Master's degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology in 2017. In 2018, Deana was a part of the Active Survivor Program with the Macarthur Cancer Therapy Centre collecting data and working with many cancer patients as well as working in private practice. Deana has experience in NDIS, Medicare Worker's Compensation/CTP Schemes, Medicare, and Athlete Development, working with the South West Academy of Sport with Fit Clinic. Deana firmly believes that EXERCISE IS MEDICINE and is all about getting this message across. Deana has a special interest in musculoskeletal conditions and as well as cancer. Deana one day hopes to specialize in either; exercise as a primary treatment for cancer or chronic pain syndromes, but for now, she wants to build on her knowledge and continue to learn about how she can empower individuals to self-manage their health and take control of their lives.
