Biography:

Pete spent over a decade at a private practice in Sydney and recently escaped the big smoke to the South Coast. He also did various placements in spinal cord injury rehab and orthopaedics.

He is an experienced runner, although never quite runs or rides as much as he’d like these days! In the past, he completed various long-ish races around the world including the Six Foot Track Marathon, Ultra Trail Australia 50km and Tromso Skyrace (Norway). He has also dabbled in triathlon and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Outside of work, you’ll find him spending time with his wife and child, as well as trying to grow more vegetables than he can eat in his veggie garden with varying degrees of success.

• Dry needling

Biography:

Originally from Kiama, Eric moved to Sydney to study physiotherapy. After graduating, he gained experience working in the busy hospital wards of Sydney. This honed his skills across many disciplines of the profession including neurological, orthopaedics and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy. He continued working in private physiotherapy clinics for over eight years in Sydney before deciding to return home with our team.

Eric is enthusiastic about empowering his patients to achieve all their desired treatment goals and get them back doing the things they love. He is dedicated to maintaining evidence-based treatments to improve recovery timeframes for his patients. He has a special interest in shoulders, neck and lower back pain.

He has had vast experience in participating in various team and individual sports (and has had his fair share of injuries!), so he understands what it feels like to be on the other side of the table. In his spare time, Eric enjoys staying active playing tennis, golf and going bushwalking.

Qualifications

• BSc Physiotherapy – University of Brighton, UK (2013)
• Postgraduate Certificate Rehabilitation Studies: Women’s Health – University of Bradford, UK (2022)

Biography:

From the South Coast in the UK, to the South Coast of New South Wales, I am lucky enough to call Gerringong my home. After qualifying from university in the UK, I worked for the National Health Service in the busy hospital wards and outpatient clinic setting. It is here where I really developed my clinical interest in musculoskeletal injuries and ongoing management. I continued to work for the NHS for 10 years, and later in the private hospital setting, before relocating with my family to Australia. 

After the birth of my two children, I experienced first hand, both the emotional and physical aspects of becoming a parent. This inspired me to further develop my expertise and specialize within Pelvic Health, working with pre and post natal care and continence management. This led to subsequent enrollment in my Post Graduate Certificate at Bradford University, which accredited me to become a full member of The Pelvic Obstetric Gynaecology Physiotherapy. I am excited to continue developing my career with ongoing enrollment of courses and continued reading. 

I am passionate about helping restore my patients confidence and enjoyment in everyday life; whether that be to continue with normal daily activities, or returning to sports and achieving  their personal goals. 

My sporting background includes gymnastics and martial arts, however, these days I enjoy running, Pilates and yoga. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, particularly being active outdoors and exploring the local environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Physiotherapy (University of Canberra)

Biography:

Originally from Hong Kong, Harold moved to Canberra after high school to study physiotherapy at the University of Canberra.

Growing up, Harold has gained experience in a variety of sports, from playing rugby at his high school rugby team, to competing at the World Championship in powerlifting. However, with the fair share of injuries that he accumulated throughout his sporting career, combined with his passion for helping others, this has driven Harold to pursuit a career in physiotherapy.

Currently, Harold is an active competitor (and occasionally medals) in various martial arts, such as MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling and kickboxing. Outside of work, you’ll find Harold training at the local martial art gym, playing with his guinea pigs, as well as relaxing at the amazing beaches that the South Coast has to offer!
