Dr Dan has a unique background in both physiotherapy and general practice, and provides a practical, evidence-based approach to diagnosing, managing and preventing injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. This combined perspective allows him to look beyond symptoms and understand how injury, health, lifestyle and performance all interact.

He supports people of all activity levels, from elite athletes and weekend warriors to individuals managing persistent pain or returning to exercise after illness or injury. Common presentations include sports injuries, tendon and ligament problems, joint pain, back and neck pain, overuse injuries, headaches, chronic pain conditions and complex musculoskeletal concerns. He also provides guidance on rehabilitation, return-to-sport planning and long-term injury prevention.

His approach is collaborative and centred around your goals and works closely with physiotherapists, exercise professionals and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is coordinated and aligned. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, he considers the broader factors influencing recovery and performance, including sleep, exercise habits, nutrition, stress, work demands and overall wellbeing.

For athletes, he can offer experienced sports medicine care informed by years working in elite sport environments, including professional football and emerging athlete development programs. This experience helps him understand the physical and mental demands of training, competition and recovery, while applying the same principles to active people of all ages and abilities.

Whether you're dealing with a new injury, a recurring problem, persistent pain or simply want to move and perform at your best, Dr Dan provides personalised medical care focused on helping people return to the activities that matter most.
