Our Senior Physiotherapists
Jenny Huang, Founder
Jenny Huang, the founder of HelloPhysio, graduated magna cum laude in 1997 with a Master’s in Physical Therapy from the University of Texas Medical Branch (hook ‘em horns).
She has a demonstrated history of work in the hospital & healthcare industry, with a specific focus on Injury Prevention, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Medicine, and Sports Physio.
Jenny’s vision is to build a physiotherapy clinic that raises the bar for patient care, experience, and empowerment.
She loves learning and teaching and strives to provide the highest standard of patient care and customer service. Prior to conceiving HelloPhysio, she was disheartened by the business-focused practices and felt that patient care should be front and center.
She uses an evidence-based treatment model of hands-on manual therapy combined with state-of-the-art equipment, including Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy, INDABA radiofrequency, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (radial and focal), and LightSpeed Lift, to enhance tissue healing and regeneration and help clients return to pain-free movement.
Jenny is a mom to two awesome teenage kids and loves to run. Not only is she a sports physio, but she is a podium-placing athlete – first in some notable races such asthe 2013 Sundown 100km ultramarathon, the 2014 Great Eastern half-marathon, 2015 The North Face 50km ultra duo, 2016 Star Wars race, winning the Death Star trophy (you can rub the trophy for good luck at HelloPhysio).

Deryl strives to help patients return to pre-injury function, or above. Whether that be work, sport or anything that is important to them. Deryl enjoys staying up to date with the latest research and developing tailored rehabilitation programs for her patients. She endeavours to keep you in action whilst recovering from an injury.
Outside of work, you’ll find Deryl at a climbing gym, playing golf, doing pottery, snowboarding, gymming, trail running, coaching climbing or binge-watching Netflix!
