Bio
Over the years, Michael has worked predominantly in private practices with side-line sports medic duties for many teams (predominantly high-performance representative rugby union). He is interested in treating sports injuries but has also worked with seniors, post-operative orthopaedic patients, children and patients of all different backgrounds.
Michael has a hands-on approach to his treatments, utilising manual therapy, joint manipulation, soft tissue massage and dry needling to facilitate each individual’s journey through rehabilitation. He has an evidence-based approach to his rehabilitation protocols and management. He believes strongly that a multi-faceted approach through physical treatment, patient-specific exercises, lifestyle changes and patient mindset provides the most significant outcomes for his patients.
