Nathan is a physio who practises what he preaches; you’ll find him in the gym 5-6 days per week, looking to build muscle and strength in order to enhance his health. He also participates in representative level touch football for Penrith, as well as playing golf on a weekly basis with a modest handicap of 13.

Nathan believes when seeing a physio, the process should be a partnership between patient and therapist, working together to achieve optimal health outcomes. Nathan also has a keen interest in the latest research and evidence-base in physiotherapy, ensuring he stays on top of the latest developments in the field.

Nathan understands that by empowering people with evidence-based knowledge, they can take ownership of their health for long-term self-management and reduce the risk of re-injury.
