About us

Kat has worked in New Zealand, U.S.A and the United Kingdom. Most recently she owned a successful multi-practitioner physiotherapy and pilates practice on Harley Street in London for 7 years before moving to Singapore with her young family. Kat has a keen interest in spinal (back, neck) and lower limb (hip, knee and ankle) pain and dysfunction, and has considerable experience treating both dance related injuries and pregnancy-related (pre and post natal) musculoskeletal issues. She often incorporates pilates-based exercise into her clients rehabilitation to facilitate their recovery from injury.

After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1995, Michael worked in the public health system for 4 years in both Australia and the UK. Upon returning to Sydney he entered private physiotherapy practice and during the seasons of 2000 and 2001, he was a physiotherapist for the Wests Tigers Rugby League Club. In 2002 he became an associate partner of a busy private practice where he regularly worked with high-level triathletes, cyclists and distance runners.

In 2009 Michael returned to the UK to work as an Extended Scope Practitioner where his expertise was sought on complex musculoskeletal cases and his practice extended beyond the recognised scope of general physiotherapy practice.

After returning to Australia, Michael completed his Master's Degree in Manual Therapy at The University of Western Australia in 2011 where he received the prize for top student in the subject of Rehabilitation Science. In 2012 he opened The Runner's Physio which focused on running gait assessments, technique modification, exercise prescription and programming, and treating clients’ running-related injuries. Michael was busy managing The Runner’s Physio and consulting more broadly at two other physiotherapy clinics in Sydney.

Prior to moving to Singapore in January 2018, Michael had the opportunity to work in Hong Kong from October 2015. His main focus was on the management of clients sports and general musculoskeletal injuries and the rehabilitation of clientele following sports-related orthopaedic surgery. He worked closely with referring surgeons to optimize his clients' rehabilitation outcomes and their return to sports goals.

Michael uses manual therapy exclusively to treat his clients and invests in educating them regarding the pathology and physiology of their particular condition to ensure they understand their role during the recovery process. Michael’s professional philosophy is firmly entrenched in sound patient-centred clinical reasoning, accurate diagnosis/classification and high-quality manual therapy selection and exercise prescription. His clinical decisions are influenced by current evidence-based research which he enjoys keeping up to date with. Michael has also successfully completed The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Diploma in Sports Physical Therapies. Conducted from the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, this course has further developed Michael's skills in sports injury management over the past 2 years of study.

Formerly an NRL grade rugby league player in Sydney, Michael practices what he preaches and is dedicated to his own health and fitness. Upon hanging up his boots, his focus shifted to triathlon then distance running and now to road cycling. He also continues to enjoy a rigorous regime of high-intensity strength training.
