Background
From a young age, Shawn knew he wanted a career that would allow him to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. His journey into physiotherapy began with his own experience of injury while playing soccer. The support, care, and positive impact he received during his rehabilitation not only helped him return to sport but also sparked his deep interest in the profession.
While Shawn has a strong focus on sports injuries and performance, he enjoys working with people of all ages and conditions. His approach is personalised and goal-focused, aiming to help clients return to what they love—whether that’s sport, work, or everyday life.
Outside the clinic, Shawn is an avid sports enthusiast, especially when it comes to soccer, both playing and watching. He also enjoys spending quality time with friends and exploring new cafes and restaurants around town. His goal is to see each client as a whole person—not just their injury—so that together, they can build a recovery path that truly fits their life.
