He has a special interest in helping people recover from complex upper limb conditions affecting the shoulder (rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy, bursitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist and hand (tenosynovitis, instability, carpal tunnel syndrome), and knee issues (ligament and meniscus tears, patellofemoral syndrome), stubborn tendon problems, and helping athletes perform in sports and the gym. He has a wealth of experience in various levels of sport, from amateur to professional, and is currently working alongside the Berowra Wallabies RLFC and the NRL officiating squads to provide injury prevention and management strategies.
