Nerissa D'Mello​​

Clinical Lead Physiotherapist
Nerissa’s interest in physiotherapy began after experiencing multiple injuries growing up. Being in and out of clinics sparked her curiosity about how the body heals and inspired her to help others return to what they love. Early hands-on experience with a Scottish rugby club during her masters strengthened her passion for musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation.
 
Now the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist at Quay Health, she has a strong interest in helping patients recover without surgical intervention when possible. Her treatment style combines hands-on techniques with exercise prescription, grounded in the latest research to promote lasting recovery.
 
Some of the techniques Nerissa uses are dry needling, VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo for data-driven rehab, taping, and shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon injuries.
 
She enjoys treating a broad range of patients, regardless of age, fitness, or background, and is currently expanding her expertise in women’s health.
 
Patients can expect a thorough, personalised approach focused on understanding their goals, hands-on treatment, and education in a supportive environment.
 
Outside work, you can find Nerissa training for her first full marathon, playing tennis, smiling at your dog, and trying to keep up with all her downloaded podcasts.

  • Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff and instability
