As an Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with over 28 years of clinical experience, Michael is a highly qualified physiotherapist with expert knowledge and skills in all areas of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy.
Michael has previously worked in the public health systems in Australia and the UK, and has extensive experience in the private sector as well. From 2000 to 2001, he was a physiotherapist for the Wests Tigers Rugby League Club, and in 2002 became an associate partner of a busy private practice where he regularly worked with high-level triathletes, cyclists, and distance runners.
In 2009 Michael returned to the UK to work as an Extended Scope Practitioner where his expertise was sought on complex musculoskeletal cases, and his practice extended beyond the recognised scope of general physiotherapy practice. In 2011 Michael completed his Master’s Degree in Manual Therapy at The University of Western Australia, where he received the prize for top student in Rehabilitation Science.
Prior to moving to Singapore in January 2018, Michael had the opportunity to work in Hong Kong from October 2015. His main focus was on the management of clients’ sports and general musculoskeletal injuries, and the rehabilitation of clientele following sports-related orthopaedic surgery. He worked closely with referring surgeons to optimize his clients’ rehabilitation outcomes and their return to sports goals.
In 2019 Michael successfully completed The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Diploma in Sports Physical Therapies. Conducted from the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, this course has further developed Michael’s skills in sports injury management over the 2 years of study.
Formerly an NRL-grade rugby league player in Sydney, Michael practices what he preaches and is dedicated to his own health and fitness. Upon hanging up his boots, his focus shifted to triathlon, then distance running, and now road cycling. He also continues to enjoy a rigorous regime of high-intensity strength training.
In December 2022 Michael has been awarded Membership of the Australian College of Physiotherapist, the formal recognition of the attainment of a highly developed level of competency in a particular area of practice.
