He enjoys the science and physiological adaptations behind exercise, providing individuals with education on how particular exercises and physical activity can benefit them. You will see Josh around our Gympie and Sunshine Coast locations.

Josh developed a love for physical activity during his younger years playing rugby league and trying his hand at many other sports. His passion for rehabilitation was built through personal experience rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries, finding great interest in how the body adapts and recovers. The brightest moment in each of his days is being able to help people feel a difference in their well-being. He strives to help improve your function, reduce pain levels, and bring a smile and positivity to your day.

Josh also has a passion for strength and conditioning, injury prevention and rehabilitation, performance enhancement and functional movement exercise. He enjoys attempting to be the world’s most underwhelming strength athlete & body builder as well as amateur sports analyst, be careful mentioning these subjects unless you have a few spare hours to chat. Otherwise he likes to keep himself busy with hiking, spending time with family and friends, music and food.

“When it comes to health and well-being: regular exercise is about as close to a magic pill as you can get.”

“Look at the bright side of life and choose to be happy, as even the darkest of clouds have a silver lining”

He enjoys using the most up to date researched methods of assisting in the neuroplastic potential changes possible in the brain. 

Sam has played rugby since he was 10 and during the off-season he likes to take his car to any beach with waves and spends the weekend surfing and camping. From his years playing rugby and studying he has an exceptional understanding of musculoskeletal rehabilitation and injury prevention methods, as he has had to prescribe most of those exercises to himself to prevent injuries.

Sam will utilise the newest and updated methods of exercise physiology to ensure everyone he treats receives the best care and the most recent physiological methods of training and prescription. He enjoys working with anyone and everyone, as he loves seeing the positive results, both physically and mentally, his clients obtain from him.  

If you see his red head in your travels, do not hesitate to give him a wave as he loves a yarn about almost anything.
