Specialist care from the sharpest end of sport and rehab.

Clinical background.

James's clinical background includes professional work with the AIS and the AIS Basketball program, and a clinical placement with the Belconnen Magpies, experience at the sharpest end of sport and rehabilitation that shapes how he approaches every client, whether they're returning to sport after a reconstruction or getting through a workday without pain.

He also worked at Clinic 88, one of Canberra's most respected sports injury clinics, under the tutelage of some of the best in the industry, including James Barker and Brad Hiskins. That mentorship grounds his approach in high-standard clinical reasoning and hands-on management, not just exercise prescription.

James has also completed contracted functional capacity assessment work for Australian Government departments and Defence workers, experience that shapes the clear, defensible reporting his funded and insurance clients rely on.

Fitness & Wellbeing Physiology was built around three clinical areas where James has the deepest expertise:

• Mental health – PTSD, anxiety and depression, including NDIS psychosocial presentations and DVA veteran care
• Complex musculoskeletal rehabilitation, knee, hip and ankle, post-surgical and chronic
• The funding schemes that make specialist care accessible – NDIS, DVA and Medicare CDM

Every session is 1:1. No exceptions.

Most allied health clinics see mental health and complex musculoskeletal conditions as a sideline. Here, they're the reason the clinic exists. And critically: every session is with James. Not a junior, not a student, not whoever's rostered on. No delegation, no group classes. If you book with him, you get him.
