Dom brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Vigeo Physio. With considerable sport team physiotherapy involvement and caring extensively for all manner of musculoskeletal problems clinically, Dom has the skills you need to recover - the right way.
Dom knows firsthand the frustration of living with chronic pain. Despite being a naturally active child, he struggled with hayfever & respiratory issues and an early hip injury that went unsolved (it was challenging to find the right solution). Over a number of years, he sustained anumber of sporting injuries. Traditional/standard physiotherapy and exercises didn’t provide the right knowledge of how to properly recover and condition hisbody, these led to recurring injuries, and pain and fatigue that continued to worsen over time. Multiple appointments with a range of medical practitioners led to no improvement, so Dom set out on a path to find a holistic, whole-body solution. After 20 years of living with pain and fatigue, the combination of postural therapy with traditional physiotherapy techniques has Dom feeling amazing. Dom can't wait to help you improve your pain and health.
I have lived in 5 countries and enjoy learning about culture and languages.
If I am not in the clinic, you will find me with my family, outdoors (hiking, snow-skiing, wakeboarding or gardening).
