Clodagh Barry

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)

Physiotherapist

Clodagh, pronounced clo-dah (I know, it’s hard!), graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) from the University of South Australia in 2025. Originally from the Clare Valley, Clodagh could not resist the small-country-town feel of Semaphore and is ecstatic to be starting her career as a Physiotherapist at Semaphore Road Physio after helping out on the front desk while studying.

 

With a developing interest in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Clodagh enjoys working with a wide range of clients, and is eager to continue learning. Some areas she is particularly interested in are running and sport-related injuries, neck and low back pain, headaches, and contemporary pain science. She takes a patient-centred approach to care, combining hands-on treatment with tailored exercise rehabilitation to support both recovery and long-term self-management.

 

With a background in Pilates and a Certificate III in Fitness, Clodagh values the role of movement, strength, and education in rehabilitation. She enjoys working collaboratively with patients to build confidence, restore function, and support a safe return to activity.

 

Clodagh is in the clinic Tuesday to Saturday and looks forward to supporting patients at every stage of their rehabilitation journey.
