I left Australia with a one way ticket and no real plan.  Until I found my thing in the French Alps; snowboarding and mountains.  Five seasons deep before I even thought this could lead to a career, then that curiosity about how the body holds up under real demand brought me home in 2009 to study a Bachelor of Health Science.

 

Running was the next path and fittingly, I tore my calf two weeks before my first half marathon while studying the very thing that should have taught me better. Understanding the body on paper and listening to your own are not the same skill.
 

After my degree, I worked alongside a leading winter sports physiotherapist at Thredbo, then moved into rugby union and league recovery work, which is what first brought me to Newcastle. I was mentored by a sports therapist, who spent years treating chronic pain patients who had tried everything else.  This shaped how I think about treatment more than anything else I studied. Not long after, I opened my first business, Planet Recovery Lambton, training hard myself the whole time.
 

Then I did the thing I now spend every day helping people not do.
 

I closed the business in 2019 after my second son was born and moved into an office job. Six years of desk work together with years of hard training resulted in fascial restriction, poor joint mobility and pain that I trained straight through, until I couldn't anymore.
 

The way back isn't quick, and I won't pretend it is. But commitment is the key. I want to be hiking mountains at seventy, not looking at old photos wishing I still could.
 

That's exactly why Myofascia Clinic exists. Not from a textbook, but from having lived on both sides of it.
