I.B.O.P
Bio

Originally from Adelaide, Rob graduated from the University of South Australia in 2013. Since this time has worked exclusively in private practice and held positions lecturing and tutoring in Sports Podiatry & Biomechanics at UniSA.

Rob’s goal in practice has always been to position himself in an environment allowing the highest level of assessment and treatment of lower limb musculoskeletal conditions. His specialties include - the growing athlete, orthopaedic rehabilitation, sports specific assessment and treatment (AFL, Netball and golf) and the management of complex foot and ankle conditions. What stands out most is his determination to continually strive to provide the highest level of client care , this is achieved through forming relationships with clients and complementary practitioners that transcend what is considered the ‘norm’ in today's podiatry settings.

Rob thrives off being challenged, is devoted to helping his clients reach their goals and most of all providing a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for all those around him.

Away from the clinic you will find him enjoying a round of golf, or on the coast attempting to catch a fish or two- a firm believer that life is best lived outdoors.
