Currently I am the only Chiropractor in Australia to be accredited by the Medical Advisory Committee at a Private Hospital, St George Private Hospital to treat hospital in-patients upon specialists referral. Patients I have treated are in Obstetrics, as well as treating Medical specialists in Orthopaedics and Anaesthetics.
Undergoing clinical research with the Orthopaedics Research Institute at St George Hospital, being a first for a Chiropractor with a major medical hospital.
Regularly attending "Grand Round" Orthopaedic meetings at St George Hospital having access to the most up-to-date clinical education.
Previously I have been a Chiropractor treating BMW Motorsport super tourer racing drivers, also having a keen interest in Formula 1, aware of the massive G-forces applied to the neck of these drivers and how important proper neck function and strength is needed. As a matter of interest in braking and cornering a Formula 1 driver can experience up to 5 g equivalent to 5 times the force of gravity, in which the head and neck can weigh up to an equivalent of 25 kg instead of 5 kg, with a lateral force on the neck muscles of 245 Newtons compared to 49 Newtons if you are standing still.

Completed a Graduate Certificate in Pain Management from the University of Sydney at Royal North Shore Hospital, the Pain Management course is the first of its kind to be offered in Australasia and some of the first University Courses in Pain Management to be offered worldwide.
