Senior Movement Therapist

Joe has always had a strong interest in health and fitness. He first began his career in health promotion and gradually moved into coaching to presently injury management and rehabilitation work.

​

Throughout his career, he has been fortunate to be mentored and tutored by experts in the health and fitness industry including Ian O’dwyer (Od on Movement) and Jackie Wu (Strength Therapy) who helped shaped his ideals towards his therapy approach.

 

As a movement expert and clinical massage therapist, Joe has worked with many individuals from athletes to the general population, addressing their pain, posture and movement dysfunctions and restoring them back to full performance or daily living.

 

His passion lies in the study of human movement, functional neurology and biomechanics as well as pain science and he continues to further his understanding and proficiency in them. He believes that everyone should be moving more, in the way the human body is designed and that they should aspire to live life with more abundance by being pain free.  

 

When not involved in rehab work, Joe is often found engaging in his favourite beer and coffee, preferably both at the same time.
