James was drawn to osteopathy in his late teenage years as he was entering the elite category in his BMX racing. His osteopath was able to help him manage his injuries and get him back to racing. James was fascinated with how the body worked and how the osteopath often looked past the injury location to find why the injury occurred. He also liked the combination of manual therapy and home exercises to rehabilitate the injuries.

James’ passion lies with helping people find the cause of their pain so they can get back to living life. He is a big advocate of using rehab exercises to compliment the treatment and has completed courses in strength and conditioning to help this. 

He has an interest in working with athletes and the challenges their bodies face with the high physical demands of sport. He also loves treating lower backs, shoulders, necks, and lower limb sporting injuries. 

Outside of work James loves riding bikes, camping, live music, TV comedies, and going on adventures with his Kelpie Ruby. James has been involved with BMX racing since he was 12 years old, competing at a national and international level, including 10 years racing at an elite level. He has also been heavily involved as a BMX coach since he was 16 and is the currently working for AusCycling as the Head Victorian State Coach
