My Story
I’m Ky Wynne, a Melbourne running physiotherapist, exercise scientist, running coach, educator and co-founder of Athlete’s Edge Physiotherapy.
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked across physiotherapy, exercise science, sport, coaching, fitness and education. My career has increasingly centred around how I can help athletes move from injury, back to sport, and ultimately towards better performance?
Running Physiotherapy
Running is a particular area of clinical expertise and one of the biggest influences on my professional career. As a specialist running physiotherapist, I work with runners across recreational, sub-elite and elite youth levels, helping athletes understand and manage running injuries, training load, strength and capacity, running mechanics and the return to running after injury. I am particularly interested in the optimisation of performance, and believe strongly that many runners possess a plethora of untapped opportunities to improve their running.
I provide specialist running physiotherapy, running assessments, rehabilitation, strength and performance testing, running retraining and online consulting for runners in Melbourne and beyond (including online telehealth if needed). My specialist running services are designed for athletes who are injured, returning to running, struggling with recurrent injuries, or looking to improve their performance.
Athlete’s Edge Physiotherapy
In 2026, I co-founded Athlete’s Edge Physiotherapy with Emma Hoy, a sports-focused rehabilitation and performance centre in Caulfield North, Melbourne.
We built Athlete’s Edge around the idea that physiotherapy should bridge the gap between injury and performance. Our approach integrates physiotherapy, rehabilitation, strength & conditioning, performance testing and field-based training to help athletes return to sport stronger, more confident and better prepared for the demands of their sport.
Through Athlete’s Edge, I work with runners and endurance athletes, lower limb rehabilitation, post-surgical athletes, youth athletes and recreational through to high-level sporting populations. Book an appointment with me at Athlete’s Edge.
Rehabilitation, Strength & Performance
My clinical interests extend beyond endurance running. I possess expertise in sports injury rehabilitation, lower-limb injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, return-to-sport testing and athletic performance.
I have worked across elite, sub-elite and recreational sport, including endurance running, youth athletics and soccer, NPL football, VAFA and EDFL football. My qualifications in physiotherapy, exercise science, sports medicine and running coaching allow me to approach rehabilitation from both a clinical and performance perspective.
I’m particularly interested in helping athletes move beyond simply being “cleared” from an injury, instead developing the strength, capacity and confidence required to perform.
Youth Athletic Development
Another important part of my work is youth athletic development.
I have worked with young athletes across different sporting environments and am particularly interested in developing physical capacity, strength, movement skills and resilience in a way that is appropriate for the athlete’s age, training demands and sporting pathway. I have also developed and implemented education on youth athletic development to university masters level students.
Education, Research & Speaking
Education has become an increasingly important part of my career.
I currently teach and tutor physiotherapy students at RMIT University, having also previously contributed to university curriculum development and education at both RMIT Univeristy and Swinburne University. Alongside university teaching, I have developed evidence-based education for clinicians and coaches and regularly deliver workshops, webinars and guest lectures. This includes my Resistance Training Principles online course designed for early career clinicians and students.
My research interests sit around running, rehabilitation, exercise prescription, strength and performance. I have contributed to research published in journals including the Journal of Physiotherapy and Strength & Conditioning Journal, with a particular interest in translating research into practical clinical application. See more of my publications and recent projects here.
I also regularly share this knowledge beyond the clinic and university. I have presented at professional events including a keynote presentation at an international sports medicine conference in 2026. I regularly deliver running education and webinars, have appeared on industry podcasts and provided expert commentary through media including ABC Radio. Recent education has included topics such as running technique, running injuries, plyometrics and preparation for endurance events. This also includes professional advocacy work in the topic of Burnout in Physiotherapy (see the popular Journal of Physiotherapy article here).
I’m available for keynote presentations, conferences, professional development, workshops, webinars, university lectures, podcasts and media opportunities across running, sports rehabilitation, injury prevention, strength and performance, and physiotherapy education.
The Athlete Behind the Physio
As an athlete myself, I also understand the unique challenges and motivations of the athletes I work with.
I’m a multiple marathoner and have competed in half marathons, Australian Rules football, surf lifesaving and futsal. I know what it’s like to train for an event, deal with setbacks, push through difficult sessions and chase a performance goal.
That experience influences how I work with athletes today. I want my patients and athletes to understand why they are doing something, feel confident in their rehabilitation, and have a clear pathway towards whatever their version of performance looks like.
Ultimately, my work sits at the intersection of running, rehabilitation, performance, education and research, with the goal of helping athletes and health professionals make better decisions based on good evidence, sound clinical reasoning and practical experience.
Outside of physiotherapy, you’ll usually find me enjoying sport, the outdoors, travel, Asian food and Melbourne coffee (best in the world).
