Why did you become a Physio?

Initially I was interested in Physio because of my love for sports. I didn't want to work in an office so being around athletes and sports sounded great to me. Throughout my time studying, I realised the wide potential and range of opportunities for Physios. I became extremely interested in being able to tackle, understand and solve complex mechanical musculoskeletal health problems that I saw in all of my patients and clients.

What do you love about being a Physio?

The thing that I love most is the challenge of understanding and addressing complex problems. My approach focuses on identifying dysfunction in motor patterns and biomechanical imbalances to find the source of your pain problem. I love being able to make real changes in pain and function for people sometimes in one session. Helping others maintain their functional capacity or at times regain lost capacity is really meaningful to me, especially as I get older and experience these things myself. My special interests: Biomechanics, Motor control, Healthspan, and working with CrossFit, soccer, martial arts and powerlifting communities.
