Senior Physiotherapist with clinical expertise in Lymphoedema, Lipoedema and Oncology care.

G'day guys, my name is Harris and I am a proud father of two children and a cat. I have been in the physical therapy world for quite a number of years, first starting out as a remedial massage therapist/allied health assistant all while working and studying towards my goal of becoming a Physiotherapist. I grew up in a Greek household, in the Illawarra, with a love for food and gardening. My relationship with my grandparents (and their siblings) was pretty special and this is where I think my passion for working with the community was born. I love to learn from others and also help anyone that requires it. I have worked in many fields of physiotherapy, from aged care to workers compensation, private practice to sports coverage. I enjoy all aspects, however Aged Care, Occupational Health and Sports Rehabilitation have to be my top picks! I love a good chin-wag, especially surrounding Liverpool FC & rugby league. I look forward to meeting and working with you to achieve your goals!

I am passionate about helping others to get out of pain, restore function and improve their health. I am principle based and believe that if we align ourselves properly with the principles of the human body, that pain improves, function returns and increased health is inevitable.
