What made you decide to become a Myotherapist?
I always wanted to get into a health field, having a passion for sport, health and wellbeing. I also like jobs that aren’t too sedentary and keep both mind and body active. Most of all I have always found satisfaction in helping people,solving problems and watching improvement or growth.
For those not familiar with Myotherapy can you describe what it is you do?
Myotherapy targeted treatment for specific issues, such as chronic back pain, sporting injuries, injury prevention and recovery. Though, it is also a great choice for pain relief and functionality as well. It is a more focused approach which specializes in treating the underlying cause of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
In clinical practice is there any special area of interest you like to support clients to manage?
I really gravitate to exercise prescription and rehabilitation with my clients and almost always advise and prescribe stretching, supplements and exercises to do.
What made you so passionate about supporting people in this area?
I have always loved my sports as well as playing them and I have had a lot of injuries throughout my sporting career. Some if not most of them at the time were not rehabbed properly. So, I want to make sure my clients get the rehab they need. I also love exercise and growth so being able to help pass that knowledge onto my clients makes me happy.
What are your personal interests outside of the clinic?
I have played Tennis since I was 5 and have a passion for it. I still play it to this day most Thursdays.
I also love my AFL footy and am a bit of a footy nerd, I try to watch as many games as I can and am sadly an avid supporter of the Essendon Bombers! I also love my gym work outs and believe in fitness and strength.
