Joanne Glinsky is an Honorary Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at Macquarie University. She holds an External Position as Physiotherapist at Northern Sydney Local Health District and Honorary Associate at University of Sydney. Her academic background includes a PhD and specialized training in Neurological Physiotherapy from the University of Sydney.

Her research focuses on neurological rehabilitation, particularly stroke recovery and spinal cord injuries. Key areas include mobility interventions, clinical trial methodologies, and improving physical activity outcomes in post-stroke patients. She leads projects such as the 'Hi-Walk' mobility booster program (2023–2024), investigating high-dose mobility interventions for stroke survivors.

Her work integrates device-based monitoring, behavioral interventions, and implementation science to address gaps in long-term stroke rehabilitation. Recent studies explore exercise adherence, technology-assisted activity tracking, and sustainable healthcare program delivery in regional settings.
