Drawing on his experience in Physiotherapy, performance coaching as well as his current pursuit as an athlete, Ben is extremely passionate and driven to help you overcome the barriers you're facing. Whether they're pains, functional limitations, performance or becoming a better version of you, he delivers valuable high-quality care that not only achieves these goals but empowers you to learn, understand and become the expert in your own recovery and improvement!

Beyond Physiotherapy and performance coaching, Ben is passionate and still driving forwards in his own athletic endeavours - competing in surfing internationally on the WSL World Longboard Tour and Qualifying Series.

Ben is an energetic and friendly person, placing a big priority on building a high-quality professional and friendly experience to deliver great outcomes. Ben specialises in post-surgical Physiotherapy, shoulder and lower back related injuries, as well as extensive experience on rehab of the hip, knee and neck.

Outside of Physiotherapy, one of Ben's biggest interests is helping not only athletes, but all people to reduce their risk of injury and increase their quality of life! Ben strongly believes the principals of strength and conditioning can be applied to anyone, of any age at any time, to improve their movement, performance and build a robust musculoskeletal frame (muscles and bones) to live longer, better and stronger!

Outside of work - you probably guessed... Ben loves getting out in the water and surfing! He also loves dabbling on the guitar and spending quality time with friends and family.
