AJ is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who believes exercise should help people do more of what matters to them — whether that means returning to work, managing a chronic condition, rebuilding confidence after an injury, or simply staying strong and independent.

With experience across musculoskeletal rehabilitation, cancer care, neurological conditions, mental health and chronic disease management, AJ takes a practical and individualised approach to exercise. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, he works with each person to understand their goals, current abilities and the barriers getting in the way of progress.

AJ has a particular interest in *oncology rehabilitation*, supporting people before, during and after cancer treatment to maintain strength, physical function and quality of life. He also enjoys working with people recovering from workplace injuries and helping them progressively rebuild the strength, capacity and confidence required for everyday life and work.

His approach combines evidence-based exercise prescription with genuine conversation, education and progressive strength training. Most importantly, AJ wants exercise to feel achievable and purposeful — not like another medical appointment.

Outside the clinic, AJ has a strong sporting background and enjoys strength training, football and rugby, which has helped shape his interest in human performance, rehabilitation and helping people get back to doing the things they enjoy.
