My Story
Ky is a Melbourne based physiotherapist and exercise scientist. He has a strong passion for the health and wellness of his patients, with a desire to assist individuals with returning to and exceeding their pre-injury level. He has experience with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, possessing particular interest in sport and running injuries.
​
He is a Melbourne Running Physio for runners and endurance athletes of all levels and abilities, from sub-elite to beginners. He also offers free running workshops and education to help upskill runners and running coaches/physios/allied health.
​​​
Ky has over 15 years experience in the health and fitness industry. He has worked at some of the leading sports medicine clinics Melbourne and has varied experience in sport through a variety of levels (elite, sub-elite and recreational). He is also a respected university-level lecturer and tutor in physiotherapy, with current and previous roles at RMIT and Swinburne University. He has also held roles advisory boards for curriculum development.​​
His passion for lifting the standard of education has seen him present for online learning platforms, and develop evidence-based rehab and exercise programming courses used by clinicians and coaches alike. His recent online course (see here), focused on elevating exercise prescription and rehab standards, gaining excellent feedback! Additionally, Ky regularly shares his expertise through guest lectures, online articles, podcasts, and live events. He uses his passion for ongoing learning to share physiotherapy and exercise-related evidence on a social media channel.
​
In 2024, Ky also emerged as a voice on burnout in physiotherapy, writing a widely disseminated article (see burnout article here) that sparked invitations to present at conferences, appear on podcasts, and contribute to broader discussions around clinician wellbeing.
​
With a Doctor of Physiotherapy, a Grad Cert in Sports Medicine (Sports Physio), and a Bachelor in Exercise Science, Ky combines deep academic training with an authentic, down-to-earth approach. He’s walked the athlete's path himself as a multiple marathoner (plus numerous half marathons), and has played footy, surf lifesaving, futsal. ​Outside of physiotherapy, Ky enjoys sport, the outdoors, travel, Asian food, and Melbourne coffee.
