SMART Concussion Clinic - Erina.

I have been working in private practice as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for the past eighteen years. I have also had the privilege of working with various sporting teams at a local, national and international level. Over this time I have developed a special interest in assessing and managing complex musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, where multiple systems in the body are at play preventing that person from full recovery. The longer I have worked with the nervous system and functional neurology I became more interested in the assessment and management of concussion injuries and the challenge of returning those who have sustained that injury back to learning, back to work and back to sport!

Edward graduated completing his Bachelor of Applied Science and Masters of Osteopathy at RMIT Melbourne in 2012 Edward treats a wide array of complaints ranging from lower back and neck pain, headaches, sporting injuries, women during and post pregnancy, patients with arthritic and metabolic conditions. He believes in helping to guide patients to long term health, incorporating a philosophy that addresses not only physical but emotional and behavioural aspects. He has post-graduate training in CCMI Concussion treatment & management, Biodynamic Osteopathy and Rule of the Artery which are gentle forms of treatment with a focus on the deeper systems of the body (including the vascular, nerve and organ systems) that may help patients suffering from chronic pain and more complex injuries. Edward also has post-graduate training in advanced dry needling and has a strong interest in running related injuries incorporating technique coaching and rehabilitation. He has previous experience working with amateur AFL clubs in Melbourne in which he conducted hands on treatment for acute sporting injuries, rehabilitation and sports taping.
