Declan is a Physiotherapist with many years experience in elite sports rehabilitating a plethora of injuries.

With extensive experience in elite sports, Declan has worked with top-level athletes across multiple disciplines. As Head Physiotherapist for the Australian Men’s Volleyball Team, he developed expertise in treating overuse injuries such as tendinopathies, chronic low back pain, and shoulder instability.
