About Rory
Rory is an Irish-trained Physiotherapist, who moved to the Sunshine Coast after spending almost ten years in Glasgow, Scotland. Having a keen interest in sport, he studied Physiology and Sport Science, before completing a Masters degree in Physiotherapy in Leeds, England.
After gaining experience in hospital rotations including Rheumatology, aged care and trauma / orthopaedic rehabilitation, Rory pursued Rheumatology. He developed this speciality for almost five years before moving to Australia, helping people with inflammatory conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or Ankylosing Spondylitis to live their best lives.
Having grown up around sport and getting work experience with British Athletics middle distance runners and professional soccer teams, sport has always been one of his interests. Rory enjoys helping people not just back to their sport but back to a high level.
Rory loves working with clients to achieve their goals, from walking on the beach without pain to managing exercise after an injury. He uses hands-on techniques, education and exercise prescription based on each person’s goals.
Get to know Rory
My philosophy on Physiotherapy: I believe everyone should leave the clinic room feeling listened to and validated. I always seek to understand the effect an injury or condition is having on someone’s life, explain and reassure them about their symptoms and make a plan together to help achieve their goals.
In my spare time you’ll find me: Exploring the beaches with my wife. I also love playing music and cooking for friends.
My favourite place on the Sunshine Coast: The local beaches.
