Professor Snodgrass is improving patient outcomes by showing how effective movement can improve balance and assist recovery from pain and sports injuries
Professor Snodgrass and her team combine physiotherapy, exercise science, psychology and neuroscience expertise to discover why some people develop balance,pain or movement problems
Looking forward, Professor Snodgrass is excited about the potential her work has to dramatically improve the health and wellbeing of people as they age

Professor Suzanne Snodgrass is a registered physiotherapist, educator, and researcher in movement control, pain and rehabilitation.

She holds a number of concurrent leadership roles including Head of the Physiotherapy Discipline at the University of Newcastle and Director of the Biomechanics and Exercise Testing Laboratory at Newcastle’s Callaghan campus.

Professor Snodgrass’ research program aims to address gaps in our understanding of pain, movement and balance dysfunction, and discover new ways to treat movement dysfunction through exercise and physical activity.

Professor Snodgrass leads the Biomechanics and Exercise Testing Laboratory, bringing together researchers from physiotherapy, exercise science, neuroscience, imaging, psychology, physical education and population health, with state-of-the-art infrastructure for biomechanics/motion capture, postural sway/balance, fNIRS, muscle strength and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

The Snodgrass laboratory is transcending professional boundaries, uniting diverse disciplines for the collision of ideas to innovate and discover solutions to longstanding problems.
