Anthony graduated from La Trobe University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Physiotherapy Practice, and is about to begin a postgraduate Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy.
He has developed broad experience across the public hospital system, including outpatient services, the Community Rehabilitation Program, the Chronic Pain Clinic, and the Falls and Balance Clinic. In those settings he has treated a wide range of conditions — from post-operative rehabilitation following joint replacements and reconstructions, to back pain, chronic pain, soft-tissue injuries, falls, and vestibular and balance disorders.
Anthony combines exercise rehabilitation with targeted hands-on therapy, clear communication, and a supportive, person-centred approach. He is committed to using the latest evidence to guide his practice, and is a published researcher in acute back pain.
Outside the clinic, Anthony enjoys travelling to new places around the world, keeping fit, spending time with friends and family, and supporting the mighty Brisbane Lions.
