Credibility

Dominic comes to Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic after gaining a wide range of experience, both in Australia and New Zealand. After graduating in 2013 from Auckland University of Technology, in New Zealand, he started work as a sports physiotherapist. This allowed him to learn from expert physiotherapists with both Olympic and professional sports backgrounds. With this work, Dominic was able to travel both domestically and internationally with sports teams as their lead physiotherapist, and he uses the skills he draws on these experiences throughout the assessment and treatment process.

Since then, Dominic has worked in private clinics in Melbourne, where he further developed his clinical assessment and treatment skills. These experiences have led to Dominic developing an interest in headache and migraine treatment. He also completed post-graduate physiotherapy courses in Dry Needling, Clinical Pilates, Shoulder Injury and Lower Back Pain in this time.
