Bio:

Ben is a dedicated physiotherapist with a double degree in Physiotherapy and Exercise & Sports Science, which he completed in 2020. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Sports Physiotherapy, Ben is committed to staying at the forefront of his field by integrating the latest research and evidence-based practices into his clinical work. This allows him to provide the highest standard of care to his patients, whether they are professional athletes or individuals seeking help with everyday musculoskeletal concerns.

With a background as a player for the Claremont Tigers, Ben brings a unique understanding of sports-related injuries and rehabilitation. He currently serves as the Head Physiotherapist at Claremont Football Club, where he oversees injury prevention, management, and recovery for athletes at all levels.

While Ben has a particular passion for sports injuries, his clinical expertise extends to the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. He takes pride in delivering a thorough and precise clinical assessment to accurately diagnose issues, and works closely with each patient to develop a personalised treatment plan. By combining manual therapy with tailored rehabilitation programs, Ben ensures that each individual not only recovers from their injury but also regains the strength, mobility, and confidence to return to the activities they love.

Ben understands that every patient’s needs are unique, and he takes the time to listen, educate, and support them throughout their recovery journey, providing the guidance and tools needed for long-term health and wellness.

Outside of his professional life, Ben enjoys staying active with football, golf, running, and surfing—hobbies that fuel his passion for movement.
