Deeply rooted in our culture is our passion for progressive exercise and living by the mantra

“there is always something you can do, you just have to find it, then progress it!”

Now focusing his time mentoring, teaching and coaching his staff like an elite team of health care professionals to deliver the highest level of care.

He lives and breathes clinical excellence and demands it for each and every person who walks through this door

Using vast the knowledge gained from the 6 years study of Exercise Science and Physiotherapy, plus now 12 years in practice, Dean thrives on merging the two usually separate professions with precision to gain the best possible outcome for his patients.

I love constantly crossing over from physio to strength and conditioning coach in all consultations to improve patient function and gain optimal performance and execution of movement.

With a special interest in Exercise and Sport Science, Strength and Conditioning Coaching and olympic lifting. Dean loves to help people of all ages learn correct techniques in the gym. Using his Physio brain with his biomechanics background helps find the best lift, correct set up and technique form to help his patients get back into the gym and lift for a long time.

“Being in a gym is like going to a martial arts dojo. You can’t perform black belt techniques on day one, so why do we think we can do it in a weights room?

Take the time to learn the craft of lifting, get the basic lifting skills, focus on technique, build a solid foundation and progress over time to more advanced movements!”

Adding to this, his love of technology has evolved his clinical practice, fitting out the clinic the very best equipment, testing and monitoring tech around. You will find him running through his assessments with some really fancy tech to gain a measurable baseline and show his patients where they need to improve their movement performance over the course of their treatment.

“If your not testing your always guessing”

You need to monitor the improvements of your treatments every session, to do this in today’s day and age you need the best technology around.

Dean also has had over 4.5 years clinical experience working in a multidisciplinary pain clinic, gaining invaluable skills and knowledge in the principles of acute and chronic pain management.

“Pain is not to be feared, it is to be managed and conquered in life!”

This assisted Dean to develop a unique skill set and determination to provide the community with a very outcome driven practice with a focus on the best results for his patients.

Dean loves a challenge and will find a way to help where others have failed by improving their function and achieving what ever goals even if they think they are unachievable due to pain and past injury.

If you want help to over come pain, injury or improve your performance regardless of your age or activity level. Dean and the Team at Fighting Fit are for you!
