Isaac grew up in the beautiful Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia. Isaac lived and worked in Melbourne before completing several degrees in Brisbane. Isaac has been lucky to travel to every continent except Antarctica.
This diverse experience allowed him to explore many sports and interests (cave diving, rock climbing, down hill mountain biking) which eventually led him to needing physiotherapy for himself!
Working as a physiotherapist in Australia’s hospital system, Isaac has rehabilitated clients across all age groups with a huge range surgical procedures, musculoskeletal injuries, and neurological conditions. Isaac is passionate about the power of physiotherapy to enable clients to engage with the activities that matter most to them.

What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
I believe my care and compassion for clients, and the happiness I get from seeing clients improve, is my best skill. I believe most people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
My diverse personal background gives me a creative edge when exploring movement and treatment solutions for my clients.
Favourite Conditions to Treat:
I love working out unique ways to treat new or persistent shoulder and knee injuries. I also enjoy helping clients navigate back pain.
What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
Diving and cycling in the summer and skiing in the winter. I am a certified PADI Rescue Diver and AIDA3 Advanced Freediver. I love playing the drums and reading/listening to audiobooks.
What would be your personal motto?
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of progress!
Who is someone you admire and why?
Personally I deeply admire my mum for her academic and adventurous accomplishments. P
rofessionally I admire Dr Tom Cross and Professor Ian Harris: Australian orthopaedic surgeons who have supported the growth of non-surgical management for many musculoskeletal conditions including ACL tears.
Your most-outstanding achievement:
Personally and professionally: my volunteering work in a school in rural Kenya.
