Biography
Dr Georgina Clutterbuck is a physiotherapist who is passionate about supporting children and adults with neurological impairments to participate in physical recreation and sport. She has worked clinically in government and not-for-profit sectors and in her own private practice and enjoys sharing her real-world experiences with the next generation of physiotherapists to help them develop pragmatic solutions to challenging problems.
Dr Clutterbuck’s research explores the effectiveness of practitioner-led, peer-group sports interventions to support children with disabilities, helping them transition from health-focussed interventions into long-term participation in community sport. She designed and evaluated the Sports Stars intervention for children with cerebral palsy in a Queensland-wide randomised-controlled trial and qualitative follow-up; with the positive results reported in conferences across North America, Europe and Australasia. Her current research explores the effectiveness of practitioner-led, peer-group sports interventions within different cultures and for children with other disabilities. Dr Clutterbuck’s aim is that all children who need support to transition into community sports participation will have access to a program such as Sports Stars in their local community in the future.
