Clinical Experience

I have gained extensive experience across a variety of healthcare settings, including:

• The Royal Melbourne Hospital – Cardiorespiratory Unit
• Epworth Hospital – Neurological rehabilitation, including stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, and Motor Neurone Disease
• Private musculoskeletal practice in Mornington – Treating a wide range of injuries and rehabilitation needs across all ages and activity levels
• The Bays Hospital – Post-operative management following total knee and hip replacements, spinal surgeries, knee, ankle and foot surgeries, as well as supporting individuals at risk of falls
• Hydrotherapy programs in private settings – Focusing on mobility, strength and rehabilitation

I have also worked closely with surgeons, specialists, GPs and podiatrists, strengthening my ability to manage complex musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on treatment, exercise prescription, load management strategies and education.

Community & Sports Involvement

Beyond hospital and private practice, I have been actively involved with local football clubs and running clubs, where I’ve developed strong experience in assessing, treating, and managing sports-related injuries and supporting return-to-play.

Personal Background

I live locally in Mount Martha with my wife Kristina. We enjoy exploring the beautiful bushland, visiting local cafés, and spending time with our young family.

My Approach

At Mt Martha Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine, my focus is on providing personalised, evidence-based care to support recovery, improve resilience, and help people get back to doing the things they love.
