Meet Physiotherapist Tom!

Why did you want to become a Physiotherapist?
​I was always very keen on sports when I was growing up and sustained a fair share of injuries in the process. On each occasion I visited my physio for these injuries and was fascinated that he could do a few tests and tell me exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. It was the combination of the problem solving and sports that excited me initially and the more I learnt about physiotherapy the more I understood how big a difference they can make to peoples day to day lives. The desire to help people came naturally to me with my dad being a psychologist and my mother a nurse and so, with all these things together, it became clear to me physiotherapy was the career path I would pursue.

Why did I want to become a physio?
When I was young I was always visiting the physiotherapist for different sporting injuries and I found it fascinating the way the physiotherapists were able to diagnose, treat and return me back to sport within such a short time frame. From then on I was interested to learn how to treat injuries and learn how to prevent them; the word I use to describe injury prevention is ‘Prehab’. As I learnt more about injury prevention I was then able to spend more time on the track and less time in the physiotherapist’s clinic. Reflecting back I am very appreciative of the education I received from my physiotherapists over the years as they helped shape me into the physiotherapist I am today.
What I love about physio:
I enjoy being able to help people, seeing them improve, becoming stronger and returning to pain free activities and returning to their normal abilities. Another great aspect about being a physiotherapist is you meet lots of different and interesting people with everyday being different and you are always challenged. I also enjoy how many different areas there are in physiotherapy; for example you can have the opportunity to travel with an elite sports team or instruct a Clinical Pilates class the next week. I love how there is so much variety and opportunity.

I love to travel. When I was 19, after I finished my first year of university, I decided to travel around the world on my own. I started in India and made my way across to Egypt, England, Europe, Canada and Hawaii. It was one of the best and most surreal experience I have ever had because I was able to see so many different sights, cultures and meet so many great people along the way. Two of my favourite places were Egypt and India as they are so different from Western society with their culture, food and historic landmarks. Visiting the Taj Mahal in India and the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings in Egypt were three highlights of my 12 week adventure. To see and stand in the tombs of famous Egyptian Pharaohs with their mummified bodies in perfect condition thousands of years later was simply fascinating and an amazing experience.

One of my passions is athletics. I have been competing as an athlete for the last 19 years at State and National levels, as well as being an active member of the West Beach Athletic Club.  I have been lucky enough to travel the country competing in different state teams over the years, and have met lots of inspiring people along the way and been able to train and learn from Olympians and Commonwealth Games athlete representatives.

Joshua graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. He is passionate about musculoskeletal physiotherapy and helping people in pain with a functional hands-on approach. Having participated over many years in club AFL, soccer and cricket Joshua completed his certificate in Level 1 Sports Training before going on to complete further training in the use of kinesiology tape and sports taping. Joshua then spent several years as a sports trainer working in the South Australian Amateur Football League developing skills in acute injury management, injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies. Previously working in aged care Joshua also has experience in developing and running exercise programs, balance retraining and guided rehabilitation.
Joshua is particularly passionate in employing a collaborative goal setting approach to therapy utilising techniques such as functional rehabilitation, individualised exercise programs, manual therapy and joint mobilisation.


Why did you want to become a physiotherapist?
As I entered year 12 I started exploring what careers were available that best matched my passions. I knew that I liked getting to know people and building relationships, and I have always been very passionate about sports and health. The more I explored different career pathways the more physiotherapy stood out as a way to satisfy both passions in a meaningful way.

What do you love most about being a physio?
Without doubt I think the most enjoyable part of working as a physiotherapist is helping people achieve their goals. I believe you always make a personal connection with anyone you work with, and this means that often when they achieve their own goals you share their sense of accomplishment. I’m passionate about seeing people return to the activities that injury has been holding them back from, and I love getting to see people return to participating in things that they are passionate about.

I also love the problem solving element of physiotherapy and how the individual nature and circumstances of a person’s injury means that treatment and rehabilitation will never be exactly the same. I really enjoy collaboratively problem solving how to manage and rehabilitate an injury that works with an individual’s personal circumstances and lifestyle.
