Why I became a Physiotherapist 

‘Back in the day’ I wanted to help people recover from injury by avoiding surgery and reliance on medications.  Now-a-days, I also like to try to work with people to improve resilience, improve function and reduce re-injury risk. Education, manual therapy, dry needling and rehab exercise programs now form a large part of how I treat and rehab people. 

 Something else about me 

I love my family, my dog, my garden, my tennis and cycling. Please don’t get between me and my morning coffee (or 2). I may be partial to the occasional wee dram…

Men's Health

It’s the topic men don’t want to talk about. Are you having problems with your bits below the belt? Many men have ongoing problems with their water works such as urinary frequency, urgency, dribbling, incontinence, hesitancy or pain, and are too embarrassed to seek help, or don’t know that there are treatments available.
Recent studies have suggested that only one third of men with such problems seek help, here at Peak Performance, we have a discrete, professional male therapist qualified to help you get back on track. Your physiotherapist will work closely with you to reach your goals, and if required therapies can be combined with your GP, urologist, psychologist and exercise physiologist to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
We offer a comprehensive program from initial assessment, diagnosis through to treatment including graduated pelvic floor exercise programs, manual therapies, lifestyle advice, training bladder habits, management of post op recovery, and referral to a more suitable health professional if required.
If you need some advice or are wondering if physio could help with your condition, feel free to speak discretely to our men’s health physiotherapist about your difficulties on 4639 4249.

Rugby Union

Rugby Union (XV’s and 7s)

We have a very long association with rugby union amongst the physiotherapists in our clinic. From covering game day and international tours for Toowoomba Grammar to previously doing game day coverage for local club teams, to helping out some of the members of the Aussie 7s team when they are back home on the Downs, to Isabelle and Seamus, having played rugby and 7s themselves, right down to Seamus having coached his young daughter’s team, it’s fair to say we know and love our rugby.

So if you have an injury that is limiting your rugby performance, we are the ones to see.
