Background
Daniel is a physiotherapist who believes that a thorough assessment is essential to establishing an accurate working diagnosis. This foundation allows for effective patient education, the development of individualised exercise-based management plans, and the promotion of self-management strategies that empower individuals to reach their goals.
His clinical interests lie in two distinct yet surprisingly connected areas. Personal experience has sparked a strong passion for sports injury management and rehabilitation—particularly tendinopathies and ankle injuries. At the same time, Daniel has developed a deep interest in the evolving understanding and treatment of chronic pain. He is currently undertaking further external training to enhance his clinical skills and broaden his knowledge of both physical and psychological management strategies in this area.
Outside of the clinic, Daniel is a Senior Player for the Sturt Football Club in the SANFL. His own experiences with injury and rehabilitation have shaped his clinical approach and allow him to connect more deeply with his clients. He also works as a physiotherapist with Sturt’s Centre of Excellence program, where he assists in the assessment, management, and rehabilitation of the Under 14, 16, and 18 footballers.
