Dana Galler-Tough

APA Physiotherapist

M.Sc (Physio), B.Sc (Kinesiology)

Dana graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Masters of Physiotherapy in 2022. She completed her Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at Queen’s Univeristy in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Dana’s academic background has given her a solid foundation for exercise prescription, and this is reflected in her practice. She uses a combination of patient education, manual therapy techniques, dry needling and exercise prescription to help patients achieve their goals. Dana encourages patients to learn how to self-manage their conditions with the tools they gain through their rehab journey.

Dana has experience working with a variety of orthopaedic and neurological conditions. She is particularly interested in lower limb, shoulder and lower back injuries. Dana also has an interest in working with athletes and recently spent two seasons working with the Uni-Norths Owls Rugby Club in Canberra.

In her free time, Dana enjoys going to the gym, running, hiking and downhill skiing. She is also learning to play rugby union with the women’s rugby union team at Southern Districts Rugby Club.
