Background
Alex is a dedicated physiotherapist with a passion for helping people overcome musculoskeletal injuries through a combination of hands-on treatment and exercise prescription. With extensive experience in strength training, Alex is skilled in writing both gym and Pilates programs to support clients in improving function, and returning to the activities they love.
Alex has a particular interest in treating neck, mid-back and low-back pain. He has also undertaken additional training in shoulder injuries and sports physiotherapy, which have become a key focus of his clinical practice. In addition to his musculoskeletal work, Alex has completed training in vestibular rehabilitation and is equipped to assess and manage a variety of vertigo and balance conditions.
In his spare time, Alex enjoys staying active – spending time in the gym and playing volleyball. He understands that finding time for injury rehabilitation can be difficult, so he uses his personal experience to formulate efficient and timely exercise programs for clients that fit into their busy schedules.
