MEET OUR TEAM
Hello, I am Zane Lindsay Wild - a physio who is passionate about helping people move with confidence, get stronger and return to the activities that matter most to them.
What I love most about physiotherapy is the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives. Whether it's helping someone return to sport, get back into the gym, recover from an injury or simply enjoy everyday activities without being held back, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of that journey.
I believe good physiotherapy is about much more than simply treating an injury or providing temporary pain relief. It's about taking the time to understand the person in front of you, what matters to them and what they want to achieve.
My approach combines hands-on treatment, education, exercise, and a clear plan to help people take an active role in their recovery. I want my clients to leave physiotherapy not only feeling better, but also feeling stronger, more confident and equipped to look after themselves in the long term.
I was born and raised in Bli Bli on the Sunshine Coast, where sport and adventure were a big part of growing up. From playing cricket and rugby league to riding horses and competing nationally in the Prince Philip Mounted Games, I've always loved being active and challenging myself.
This love of sport and movement led me to study a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at Australian Catholic University. I was fortunate enough to graduate with the University Medal as the dux of my cohort, something I'm incredibly proud of.
Outside the clinic, you'll usually find me spending time with family and friends, at the beach, training in the gym or heading along to a rodeo. I'm lucky to have grown up on the Sunshine Coast and love making the most of everything it has to offer, particularly a trip to Mudjimba Beach.
Hello, I am Geoff Ford - the founder of Be Strong Physio, and I know there is a better way to deliver physiotherapy services to my clients.
I am a passionate Physiotherapist, Strength and Conditioning coach (ASCA), Yoga teacher and Strongfirst certified kettlebell instructor. I love the outdoors and I am a very keen surfer, snowboarder and pursue a life filled with adventure and travel. These days I have a young family so my adventures are a little more “local”.
After being on my own journey working as a lawyer and environmental consultant in Brisbane to discovering Yoga and kettlebells and realising the life-changing effects of exercise, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others get out of pain and improve their health and fitness. I studied a Masters of Physiotherapy at Curtin University, which gave me the expertise and knowledge to help people achieve their health related goals. Since then I have worked as a physiotherapist in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast.
I was inspired to create Be Strong Physio after feeling frustrated by the limitations of the current way that physiotherapy is practised. I found that too often people feel like they are just being strung along by their physio (or any other healthcare practitioner) being told to come in again and again, week after week without any real plan or definite end date.
Patients are often given some quick fix ‘treatment’ to relieve their pain with some home exercises being thrown in at the end of the session. There is no plan to address the real causes of people's pain to get them back to what they love, let alone ensure they are strong and resilient so they don’t get re-injured.
I know that physiotherapy has the ability to change peoples’ lives for the better. Physios have the training and ability to accurately diagnose the source of pain and determine the causes of it.
I am incredibly passionate about doing this and actually addressing the cause of people’s pain and suffering and journey with them, doing whatever it takes to get them back to being strong, active and doing what they love to do. Be Strong Physio was born from this passion and I am excited to share it with you.
