He encourages you to take an active involvement in your recovery, often prescribing exercise and lifestyle changes that can help to manage long term pain.

There he worked with practitioners and golf pros from across Australia and the USA, whom instruct the world’s best golfers learning how to reduce pain and improve performance. He is now TPI certified to perform golf assessments (www.mytpi.com) and loves enabling you to hit the ball further, with more consistency and less pain.

Daniel is also proficient in running analysis and utilises video analysis to get you running longer distances pain-free. So if your suffering from exertional lower leg pain, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, calf pain, medial tibial stress syndrome, patellofemoral pain, iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, hamstring injury including proximal tendinopathy and gluteal tendinopathy come in and see how altering your technique can help reduce these injuries long term.

With a belief in an evidence based approach to treatment, utilising research, clinical experience and knowledge from mentors. He utilises a direct structural approach including soft tissue massage, dry needling, muscle energy technique (MET), articulation and high velocity low amplitude (HVLA). Daniel endeavours to combine this with his sound knowledge around pain science and the central mediators of pain to give you the best tools available to be able to achieve your goals (less pain, increased performance, better quality of life etc.)

Daniel is a strong advocate about the role that Osteopathy has to play in the medical landscape and regularly spends time listening to lectures and observing other health care professions including, but not limited to Sports Medicine Doctors, Neurologists, Pain Specialists, Orthopedic Surgeons, General Practitioners, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists and Podiatrists. This helps him to develop not only his own skills, but to be more aware of the skill sets of other health care providers, thus allowing him to refer appropriately when required.
