The Framework: Systems Over Symptoms

 

Most treatment plans fail because they treat symptoms instead of systems. If your body is how you work, play, or perform, you don’t have time for guesswork. You need someone who understands load, performance, and recovery—not just "tight muscles."

 

To get undeniable results, your foundation must solve for three critical variables:

• The Organism: Your unique biology, structural mechanics, and injury history.

• The Task: The exact physical demands of your sport, job, or lifestyle.

• The Environment: The external conditions and context you perform under.

 

My approach combines extensive  clinical practice experience alongside years of being a part of elite sports medicine frameworks. I have also sought out and completed the highly respected ALTIS Performance Therapy program, the EXOS Physical Therapy framework, and the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine.

• Evidence-Informed & Outcome-Driven: I focus on what works to get you measurable results.

• Scope-Specific Excellence: I dedicate myself to being exceptional at what I do, and maintain a trusted network of professionals to refer to for everything else.

What matters most is helping you achieve your outcome today, while building a resilient baseline that allows you to excel tomorrow.

The Proof: 17+ Years & 20,000+ Treatment Hours

You don't survive nearly two decades at the absolute top of professional sport and clinical practice by accident.

 

You do it by delivering repeatable results under pressure.

 

As the founder of Rebound Remedial Massage, my track record is anchored by over 17 years of full-time clinical experience and more than 20,000 hands-on treatment hours.

 

That background includes an elite 15-year tenure with the Brisbane Lions AFL squad (concluding at the end of the 2025 season) alongside my current tenure supporting elite athletes with Tennis Australia. Beyond AFL and tennis, I have spent over a decade managing the unique movement profiles and physical demands of athletes across NRL, Rugby Union, Netball, Basketball, Soccer, and Cricket.

​

The Full-Season Advantage

I don’t just treat a body for a single point in time; I tailor my approach to support you throughout the entire macrocycle. From heavy pre-season loads to post-season recovery, I utilize soft tissue therapy as a strategic pillar to keep you set up for Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) and proactive rehabilitation.

I know how to manage a body and balance out what to focus on and when so it peaks when it matters most.

​

The Next Venture: The International Stage

Following a highly competitive national selection process, I am heading to Scotland this July and August as an appointed member of the Australian Sports Medical Headquarters Team for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Stepping into a massive multi-sport international environment is a new challenge I am hungry to undertake—not just to support our nation’s finest on the global stage, but to push my own boundaries, learn from elite international minds, and bring that exact world standard straight back to my daily practice in Ipswich.

​

Who I Work Best With (And Who I Don't)

I don't offer generic, relaxing spa massages. Sometimes this is exactly what is needed but it is far from the foundations of my work.
 

My clinic is built for people who actually use their bodies and demand performance. I get the best results with:

• Athletes & Competitors: Those who train, compete, and need to stay on the park year-round.

• Lifters & Field Athletes: Anyone managing heavy training loads and seasonal physical stress.

• Active Workers & Tradies: Professionals whose bodies are their business and can't afford downtime.

• Everyday People in Long-Term Rehab: Individuals who are completely done with just "managing" pain and want a permanent solution.
   

Whether you're chasing a massive PB, trying to make it through a season unbroken, or just wanting to stop wincing when you get out of bed—you are my ideal client.

​

Industry Leadership

I don’t just execute industry standards—I have spent years establishing them:

• National Presenter: Sharing advanced clinical strategies at national conferences.

• Education: Spent years shaping the next generation of therapists as a Remedial Massage Course Lecturer.

• Governance: Served as a Director on the AMT (Association of Massage Therapists) Board of Directors.

• Scale: Extensively oversaw the internal training, clinical standards, and professional development at one of the largest remedial massage clinics in Australia.

• ​

Collaborative Care: Staying in My Lane

I am world-class at one thing:  soft tissue therapy in the sports, rehab and remedial settings.

Because I know exactly what I am great at, I don’t pretend to be a dietitian, a strength coach, or a sports physician. Although I make a concerted effort to stay relevant with changes in their fields.
The highest level of care requires a team of hyper-focused experts. If a piece of your recovery puzzle falls outside my lane, I won't guess with your health. I will seamlessly introduce and coordinate with the absolute best specialists in my private network.

​

My Clinical Toolkit

I bring the exact diagnostic precision used on Grand Final fields, court-side, and at international tournaments straight to our sessions:

• Assessment: Muscle, Orthopaedic, Neural, and Functional Movement Assessments where needed to better understand and refine the best treatment approach. 

• Manual Therapy: Myofascial Release (MFR), Trigger Point Therapy, MET, PNF stretching, and Joint Mobilisations.

• Additional modalities: Dry Needling, Intra Muscular Stimulation (IMS), Cupping.

• Instrument & Taping: IASTM / Rockblades (Gua Sha), Rigid structural, and Rocktape/Kinesio taping.

 

World-class care. Long-term results. Zero fluff.
