Meet our Physio - Matt

---

Matt grew up in Tea Tree Gully, Adelaide, where he was a passionate footballer from a young age, playing for Tea Tree Gully before moving on to Norwood Football Club. These days, he’s a keen fisherman who spends every spare moment camping or relaxing by the beach. 

Matt graduated from the University of South Australia in 2020. Since then, Matt has been working as Physiotherapist. Through Matts work he has lived and travelled around South Australia throughout the Yorke Peninsula and Crystal Brook. 

Later, Matt’s passion for physiotherapy led him to Far North Queensland, where he lived in Cairns. This role gave him the opportunity to travel to remote Cape York communities, including Weipa, Mapoon and Napranum, to deliver outreach physiotherapy services. It was here that Matt truly saw the impact physiotherapy can have and the meaningful difference it brings to people’s lives.

• Working with First Nations peoples of all ages.
