Meet our physiotherapist

Simon is a qualified physiotherapist with over 40 years of experience in the health and fitness industry.

He spent 17 years working at the AFL as the senior team physiotherapist for the Western Bulldogs and was a physiotherapist for Australia’s International Rules Series team.

Simon has a personalised and holistic approach to physiotherapy. All clients receive a 45-minute consultation, starting with a thorough assessment of the individual’s needs, not just limited to the referred physical problem or injury.

Simon’s sensitivity and awareness to any potential contributing factors are noted, respected and discussed.

With a background in teaching, Simon aims to keep his patients informed of their injury diagnosis, empowering them with practical strategies to assist with their recovery.

This may include home rehabilitation, general fitness exercises, postural self-awareness and correction, core strength and mobility, healthy eating plans (to assist with weight control) and good mental health practices.

You will find Simon at the clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Enjoy your oats with a tasty twist

Method:

1. Bring a cup of water to the boil
