Mengnan, who also goes by Meng, graduated from The University of Queensland in 2021 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours).
During her time at a public hospital in Singapore, Meng gained valuable experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, working with clients across various areas including Neurology, Musculoskeletal, and Orthopaedics. This experience sparked her particular interest in the Neurological population, especially as she observed their transition from intensive care to subacute care.
Meng has also been involved in research and education. She presented on stroke at the Singapore Allied Health Conference 2022, co-investigated a Parkinson’s disease study from 2023 to 2024, supervised student physiotherapists, and delivered an in-service presentation on spinal cord injury.
Meng remains an active dancer in the Brisbane community, where she attends classes, performs, choreographs, and holds workshops. Her physiotherapy skills combined with her extensive dance experience drive her passion for helping clients relieve pain and regain free movement.
Meng’s special interests include neurological conditions (such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury), dance, and Pilates. She is currently pursuing the APPI Clinical Pilates Certification – Matwork and Equipment, which she is due to complete by the end of 2025.
Additionally, Meng speaks Mandarin.
