Abbie Norrish Clinician | Persistent Pain Advocate

In her teens, Abbie experienced a significant neck injury that developed into persistent pain. She set herself a time-based goal, that if she as a Physio couldn't help herself, she would stop being a Physio.

Abbie is candid, joyful, passionate and focused. All qualities that steered her to where she is now as General Manager of Pain Revolution. She is a powerful advocate for women in leadership, solving challenges through collaboration and the importance of lifelong learning. It was a pleasure to touch base and share her journey so far.
