Our team’s career journeys

Tamar Simai

During my undergrad at Monash, I had the chance to work as a casual receptionist at The Joint Physiotherapy. This role not only gave me valuable experience but also allowed me to shadow Adam & Bernie during a few shifts, sparking my interest in the clinical side of the practice.

In my fourth year, I was seriously considering a position at Royal Melbourne. However, the fun, community-focused, and collaborative environment at The Joint—and maybe a little nudge from my dad—ultimately convinced me to stay.

In 2019, I stepped into the role of Practice Manager, which opened my eyes to the world of Allied Health Practice Management Consulting. This experience led me to establish my own consulting business, Tagence, where I now help other Allied health businesses restructure and streamline their operations.

These days, most of my treating hours are dedicated to running GLA:D
classes and custom exercise programs, along with hands-on work with private patients.

A neck injury in my late teens. I spiked my interest in physio; I liked the idea of science and people. Despite this, my Dad talked me out of it and suggested a science degree would give me more options.

He was wrong…so after completing a degree in biochemistry I started Physio at Lincoln Institute. My first job was as an annual leave reliever at the Alfred. I also worked the twilight shift at St.Vincents hospital and volunteered at Melbourne Football Club.

Second year out managed to get a job at Malvern Sports Medicine where I went on to become a partner and head Physio at Prahran Sports Med. I was also employed as an assistant physiotherapy at MFC.

In my 3rd year out I was offered a senior role at Richmond FC. (GO TIGES!)

Having done as many continuing educational courses as I could get my hands on, I ran McConnell technique weekend workshops.

In 1990 I started a new practice called Proactive in Mount Waverley at which point I took a break from AFL (and had 4 kids). That practice grew and then expanded to Wheelers Hill, Caulfield, and Mt Buller.

I became a Titled Sports Physio in 1999, having been involved with elite basketball, softball, soccer, grid iron, 2000 Olympics, Macabbi games. I am currently still Physio to Australian Mens Softball team.

In the past few years I have cut back hours to spend time with my grandchild and keeping fit with bike, squash and gym while working part-time mentoring and with the part of physio I love – treating patients with an emphasis on hands on techniques; if a picture paints a thousand words, I can’t imagine the stories my hands could tell.

My physio career began with Honours in Sport & Exercise Science and working as a PT. Frustrated at not being able to answer my client’s fitness questions on a deeper level, and after suffering 2 knee recos myself, I moved up to the Gold Coast to study a Doctorate of Physiotherapy.

After 18months working in a rehab hospital, I started at The Joint Physiotherapy in 2010 and have not stopped learning and developing my knowledge and skills ever since. As I moved through from a mature new-grad to a senior Physio, I gained more confidence, developed a strong following and moved from Physio to a Business Owner. I have managed to balance working with elite athletes, treating our incredible community, developing The Joint Physio team and raising a young family and look forward to helping others along a similar journey.

Following 3 years of studying biomedicine, I pursued my passion of sports medical career and decided to become a physio.

After spending a year in another private practice as a new graduate, I joined the Joint team in 2016 and it was a game changer.

Here I was provided not just with daily caseloads to handle but many kinds of opportunities to learn and develop as a better clinician. Some examples include working and travelling with various sports teams from amateur to elite, internal and external PD as well as attending professional conferences. These experiences along with close-knit family atmosphere at the Joint definitely helped me to expand my skills, knowledge and confidence in help managing patients achieve their health
goals.

Moving and living in Caulfield was also a massive game changer of my life as I met my wife to be, who very recently gave birth to our first baby daughter!

I have been mentored by Bernie & Adam over the years and am now myself starting to take on the role of mentor.
