Rob has over 20 years’ experience  treating people from all walks of life, from keyboard warriors to elite athletes.  Aware that every person has a unique lived experience with their injury, he looks to provide holistic solutions to help improve their quality of life and performance in their chosen activities.  Using evidence-based therapies and tailored exercise programs he works with you to help achieve your optimum health.

With a lifelong desire to learn, Rob was fortunate to further his postgraduate studies at the University of South Australia and Australian Institute of Sport. In parallel with his private practice work, he has spent his whole professional career working with various sporting organisations, mostly in Australian rules football, working for amateur, WAFL and AFL clubs.  He was involved in research on hip and lumbar injuries in elite field hockey players and has worked in motor sport from kart to supercar level. 

Having sustained a lumbar stress injury that derailed his cricket career, he has developed a strong interest in treating lumbar and hip injuries in both the sporting and general population.  His Master’s degree focussed on treating knee pain, and he worked exclusively with foot and ankle surgeons during a stint in Melbourne, giving him wide experience in diagnosing and treating lower limb injuries.

With the increasing incidence of concussion in sport, Rob undertook training with CCMI – a world-renowned concussion management and education institution based in Canada, to help patients recover from concussion in the shortest possible time.   This meshes into his   special interest in treating headaches, orofacial and jaw pain, where he has formed professional relationships with dentists, doctors and pain specialists around Perth.  He started his TMJ & Headache business in 2017, which works in association with Lowther Physiotherapy and Podiatry.
