Educational and Professional Journey
Matthew’s journey into healthcare began with a foundation in the construction trades, where he gained a deep understanding of the physical demands on the human body. This experience provided him with unique insights into musculoskeletal issues, which later became invaluable in his physiotherapy practice.
Driven by a desire to help others, Matthew transitioned into remedial massage therapy, where he honed his skills in pain relief and injury recovery. His experience as a remedial massage therapist solidified his ability to address muscle tension and develop targeted treatments.
To further expand his knowledge Matthew pursued a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Otago in New Zealand. This education allowed him to integrate his practical experience with a strong academic foundation, enabling him to deliver a holistic approach to patient care. His commitment to continuous learning is highlighted by his completion of the Watson Headache® Institute Level 1 Foundation Course, further enhancing his ability to treat clients with headaches and related conditions.
Today, Matthew combines his diverse background in construction, remedial massage, and physiotherapy to offer a unique and effective approach to healthcare.
