Paul Michael
After graduating in 2001 Paul spent his first years as a physiotherapist in Gold Coast Hospital and then abroad in England. Paul’s passion for delivering a quality service in private practice has evolved with his skillset for over 20 years. Paul consults a wide variety of injuries that come through the door. After many years in the game, Paul finds that building trust and educating his clients are most important.
“By having a better understanding of the client’s day-to-day activities such as hobbies, sports, or work, I can better understand how to make subtle changes and therapies that best influence the outcome.”
With a thirst for new knowledge, Paul has spent countless hours learning as much as he can about the art of clinical therapy whilst, on the side, completing his business master’s (MBA) in 2015.
Paul also has an interest in the brain and has studied this topic for the past 10 years. He offers advanced therapy for clients with balance disorders, vertigo, and concussion. Paul currently continues his professional development in the field of clinical nutrition with the aim of having a holistic approach to the complex human body.
“It is essential as an experienced health-care professional to not only being helping people with pain and injuries but with improving quality of life, all-round.”
