Diversified Health’s new Physiotherapist Matt Fitz-James has joined the DHC Team!

Physiotherapists are often referred to as ‘movement specialists’. They are trained to assess and treat a variety of conditions; whether it’s a sports injury, auto accident, or an everyday sprain or strain that affect the physical function of adults and children.

In 2008 Matt graduated from the Masters in Physiotherapy program offered at Curtin University in sunny Western Australia; and brings to his practice a strong manual therapy skill set. Much of the current core-stability research was initiated and continues to be advanced at this renowned university and Matt enjoys implementing this evidence-based research into his clinical practice.

Matt’s treatments combine home exercise plans, hands-on techniques, and the use of multiple cutting edge modalities, which assist his patients to improve their neuromyofascial function, and get them back to their daily routines as soon as possible.

Since graduation Matt has become Neuro-Developmental Treatment certified (C-NDT) and has taken numerous neuro rehabilitation specialty courses. He also completed Functional Dry Needling (FDN) and is impressed with the effectiveness of this technique. Matt has also taken a wide array of specific courses including Mulligans Concept and Vestibular rehab to name a few.

Having been a competitive cyclist since 13 years old; with two National titles on the road and entering the World Championships in mountain biking, he understands the demands and challenges of being active. He is also a keen back-country skier and surfer.

These type of sports aren’t without risk and Matt has a wealth of clinical experience on how to get his clients up and back participating in the activities that makes them happy.

Matt’s clinic days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
