Altona North Practitioners

Born in England and raised in South Yorkshire, Reece developed a love for football (or soccer, for Australians) early on, playing from the age of five. After experiencing knee injuries himself, he developed a strong interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, particularly lower limb injuries. He enjoys working with athletes and active individuals to help them recover, perform at their best, and prevent future injuries.

Now in Melbourne, he embraces the city’s vibrant culture, whether it’s discovering new coffee spots, enjoying wine bars, or catching live music.
