Professional activities
Ben has worked with Canberra’s active population since 2012. In this time he has worked with a wide spectrum of clients, ranging from gardeners and recreational athletes, to elite level athletes and military populations. He enjoys treating all musculoskeletal injuries and has a particular interest in the management of knee and shoulder injuries, as well as return to sport testing following ACL reconstruction.
Staying up to date with injury management research has meant that Ben can better meet the key needs of his clients using the latest information. His injury management approach focuses on finding movements that are safe and tolerable for the stage of healing, progressively building strength and tissue capacity over time. Ben aims to prepare all clients for the demands of their chosen activity, whether that be returning to high level sport or getting back to jogging around the lake.
