Lisa Tomlinson-Alonso
After graduating in 1985 Lisa Tomlinson-Alonso had the opportunity to commence Bondi Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre from humble one-room beginning in O’Brien Street Bondi in 1987. It is a measure of the respect from the Bondi Community that she has grown the Clinic to its current status in Curlewis Street over 3 decades.
Sport has always been a prime focus of Lisa’s life. As an athlete, she played in the National Women’s Basketball League. As a Sports Physiotherapist, Basketball has been a prime professional focus, appointed Physiotherapist for the WNBL Flames (1993-2000) and the NBL Kings (1997-2000). She also toured with the Australian Women’s Basketball – Australian Opals as their Sports Physiotherapist.
Despite her 400+ games of National League experience, her local sporting community involvement is extensive, particularly with Schoolboy Rugby Union having looked after GPS Sydney Grammar and CAS Waverley College since the 80s – a wealth of experience & understanding of ‘The Adolescent Athlete’.
The early days at Bondi Physiotherapy saw the sole focus being her clinical work, however Lisa understands work, life and health balance (juggling), helping her three children navigate through life. Lisa balances an incredible amount between family life and her professional career and does both at the highest level.
Albert Alonso
Albert Alonso graduated from Sydney University in 1985 and pursued a Sports Physiotherapy career pathway, working with National League teams in the National Rugby League, National Basketball League, National Women's Basketball League, Australian Baseball League and Australian Hockey Championships.
He brings to the Bondi Community the experience of 21 seasons of working with the NRL Canterbury Bulldogs (1988-2008), the final 9 years servicing the team full time. In this period, he was also the team's Sports Physiotherapist for the NBL West Sydney Razorbacks, which were also owned by the Canterbury League Consortium. He worked alongside coaches of the highest calibre in Steve Folkes and Gordon McLeod. Assisting each Club to make the transition from part-time sports in the 80s & 90s to full-time professional sports into the 21st Century gives Albert the unique understanding of the athletic requirements from ‘The Weekend Warrior’ to ‘The Professional Athlete’.
Professional development has always been a priority, achieving his Master's in Sports Physiotherapy in 2002 and appointment as Honorary Research Associate of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Sydney University, including supervision of Honours Research projects with Dr. Roger Adams, culminating in research published in peer-reviewed journals. Albert has also served on Australian Catholic University's Physiotherapy External Consultative Committee from 2017-2023.
These days, he is most fulfilled providing his Sports Physiotherapy expertise to the Community of Bondi. Whilst always maintaining his love affair with his bike, SCUBA diving with his adult children is always on the weekly plan. His SCUBA Underwater Photography can be viewed on his Instagram account.
Ivan Liang
Ivan graduated from the Australian Catholic University in 2024.
​
Ivan has worked in a high-performance environment via an internship with the Cronulla Sharks NRL team. He developed a special interest in movement biomechanics and treating sports-related injuries during the internship. Further clinical experience in hospital settings gives him a broader insight into musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, and neurological physiotherapy.
Through Basketball and Football during his GPS career, he understands the everyday physical and mental demands of a school-age athlete. Through his self-inflicted history of injuries, he has worked through the rehab process. Hence, the 'Return to Play' advice you will receive is not just through textbook templates, it will be real-life experience passed on to your recovery plan.
Ivan enjoys every bit of the outdoors, from the mountains to the beaches. He is also an avid runner and hiker. He has challenged himself in 2025 and completed an 'outside his comfort zone ' event, the UTA22, through Katoomba and the Blue Mountains National Park. Yep. With an injury!
