Tom grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where his love of sport developed through years of playing and coaching football and cricket. His enjoyment of working with athletes, combined with an interest in science and how the human body moves and adapts, ultimately led him to pursue a career in physiotherapy. 

After graduating in 2019, Tom swapped the beach for the bush, moving to Lithgow to complete his new graduate year at Lithgow Hospital. He quickly developed an appreciation for regional life and the strong sense of community that came with it. In early 2021, Tom moved to Bathurst to join the team at Bathurst Physiotherapy and has since well and truly settled into country life. 

Tom now lives on acreage in Peel with his family and enjoys the space, peace and slower pace of life with his two boys, Arlo and Xavier. 

For the past 4-5 years, Tom has also been involved with St Stanislaus’ College Rugby Union, providing physiotherapy and sports injury support to schoolboy rugby players. This has strengthened his interest in acute sporting injuries, rehabilitation and return-to-sport, particularly injuries involving the knee and shoulder. 

This has led Tom to progress his professional qualifications by commencing his Masters of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy at Australian Catholic University (ACU), further developing his skills in the assessment, rehabilitation and management of sporting and musculoskeletal injuries. 

Tom also has a strong clinical interest in vestibular physiotherapy and rehabilitation, along with the assessment and management of headaches and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions. 

In the clinic, Tom enjoys helping patients understand their injury or condition and providing them with the education, advice and rehabilitation strategies they need to regain confidence, independence and return to the activities that are important to them.
