Physiotherapist | Co-Founder
About Lachlan
Lachlan is a physiotherapist with over eight years of experience supporting people experiencing musculoskeletal pain, injury and persistent pain conditions.
He has a particular interest in contemporary pain science and the relationship between pain, movement, beliefs and behaviour. His postgraduate training in Pain Sciences at the University of South Australia informs his approach to understanding and treating complex pain presentations.
Lachlan recognises that effective physiotherapy involves more than focusing on the site of pain. He works collaboratively with clients to understand the factors influencing their symptoms, develop practical strategies and build confidence in movement and everyday activities.
His approach combines education, rehabilitation and personalised guidance, recognising that treatment should reflect each person's circumstances and goals.
