Originally studying a double degree in mechanical engineering and industrial design, Patrick decided to change direction after taking a year off from his studies and travelling through Europe. Upon returning home he completed a Certificate IV in Remedial Massage Therapy at the Australian College of Natural Medicine. Patrick’s interest in further developing his knowledge in manual medicine led him to further his studies at RMIT university, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Complimentary Medicine) and a Master of Osteopathy. Also during this time he completed a Certificate III in Gym Instruction.

Having developed a keen interest in paediatrics whilst at RMIT, Patrick loves working with children and finds them the most interesting and insightful patients. During his time at RMIT undertook his Masters research on the Presentations of Paediatric Patients to Australian Osteopaths and in the future he wishes to undertake further studies in the field of paediatrics.

Whilst  at RMIT Patrick worked both as a massage therapist and gym instructor giving him invaluable first hand experience dealing with injuries and their rehabilitation.

Through out his whole life Patrick has been involved in both team and individual sports. With a history in track and field at the state level, and now a keen cyclist and lacrosse player. Patrick has always had a healthy and active lifestyle and understands the demands placed on the body during exercise and times of injury. He understands the urgency for individuals to return to their chosen sport or activity and gains extreme satisfaction from being part of that process.
