Something Is Stopping You From Training And Living Your Life The Way You Want To.
It might be a recent injury. A niggle you keep managing. Or something you’ve had for years that you haven’t been able to fix.
You might have had the injury for a while. Tried multiple therapists. Felt better for a week or two. Then it came back.
Or maybe it’s more recent, and you want to fix it now before it becomes a bigger problem.
Either way, you’re right to act now. The longer a cause goes untreated, the more the body compensates around it, and the bigger the job becomes.
Unlike most therapists, I focus on finding and treating the cause – whether that’s the painful area itself, a connected joint, or an old injury that was never fully rehabbed and has been building for years without you knowing.

Injury Rehab – Initial Consultation (80 mins)
Starts with a full body assessment (movement, posture, joint mobility, and gait analysis) to find the root cause of the problem, not just the painful area.
Followed by hands-on treatment and a corrective exercise plan designed to fix the cause so the issue goes away for good.
Techniques Incorporated Into Every Session
A joint training system that increases mobility and strength, so your body can not only reach new ranges of motion but control and use them, helping you move well and perform better while staying injury-free.
A movement-based approach that uses the way you walk and stand to find the root cause of pain, often in a completely different part of the body to where you feel it. In particular, emphasis on foot and spinal mechanics.
A gentle, hands-on technique that releases deep tension in the body (with focus on the skull, spine and sacrum), helping the nervous system relax and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Targeted soft tissue work to release tight muscles, reduce pain and improve how your tissues move.
Try Before You Pay*
When we start the session, I’ll set a timer for 30 minutes. When it goes off, we’ll stop, and you decide. Carry on, or leave and pay nothing. No hard sell, no guilt.
I do this because the way I work isn’t how most therapists work.
Before I treat anything, I complete a thorough assessment: how you move, how you stand, how every major joint in your body moves. And we’ll look at your injury history going back to childhood, because a sprain or a break you barely remember will still be affecting how you move today.
I’m looking for the root cause of your problem. Most of the time it isn’t painful at all. It just forces your body to compensate, moving in a way it shouldn’t. The compensation causes other body parts to hurt.
Fixing these allows for long-term improvements, but it takes time to find them, and it isn’t what everyone wants.
Some people would rather skip the assessment and get straight onto the table. Some want the sore spot worked on for an hour so they walk out feeling great. That does work. It usually lasts a few days.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting these. It just isn’t what I do.
I focus on longer-term change, which means the first session may feel less dramatic. The short-term improvements are often smaller, but they compound and last.
Thirty minutes in, you’ll know if this is what you’re looking for.

My Story
In 2014, I was slumped by the side of the road, unable to walk 50 metres from my house.
I’d seen physios, osteopaths, chiropractors, and massage therapists for years. Everything helped short term. Nothing lasted.
Then someone referred me to a therapist who assessed my whole body and found the root cause, a foot injury from when I was 12.
The pain disappeared. I was amazed, so I quit my job and trained to do the same thing.
That was 2015. This is how I’ve treated every client since.
