Welcome to Joint Pain Jacqui

Dr Jacqui Couldrick — also known as “Joint Pain Jacqui Arthritis Physio” — is one of Canberra’s most trusted physiotherapists for the assessment and treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis. She is frequently referred to by orthopaedic specialists and GPs for her expertise in managing joint pain through tailored, evidence-based care.

With over 25 years of experience in musculoskeletal and sports injury physiotherapy — including work with the Australian Defence Force — Jacqui now focuses on helping people with arthritis move better and live well. She holds a PhD from the University of Canberra, where she researched the role of exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis.

Jacqui was Canberra’s first certified provider of the GLA:D® Program for hip and knee osteoarthritis, which she delivers both in-person at Arthritis ACT and online via Joint Pain Jacqui. She also offers other telehealth programs or home based exercise programs like the PEAK program (Physiotherapy Exercise and Physical Activity for Knee Osteoarthritis).

Her true passion is ensuring that people diagnosed with osteoarthritis have access to the best possible care — including exercise, education, and dietary advice — all tailored to their individual needs.
