Paul’s interest in healthcare began when he was 18 years old and signed up for his first Kung Fu class. After seeing first hand how vitally important exercise, mindfulness and good nutrition was for his health he decided to draw on his experiences and learn how to provide health services to the public.
Paul began working as a Remedial Massage Therapist in 2005. It was during his time working alongside Osteopaths in a clinic in Sydney’s CBD that he realised how holistic and comprehensive the Osteopathic approach was, and that it had to be the next part of his personal and professional journey.
Paul studied Osteopathy at Victoria University, completing a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) and has since been practicing at Inner West Osteopathy in Newtown, Sydney. He has now joined us at Melbourne Osteo Health and is available for consultation on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
