Samuel grew up in Canberra and spent his early childhood in and out of different martial arts gyms ranging from Tae Kwon Do, Muay thai and eventually found his groove in Boxing. Seeing competitors work with physiotherapists to get in shape for a competition and having a keen interest in human anatomy Sam knew he found a career he could be passionate about.
Sam enjoys connecting with his patients and getting them back to what they love. He is passionate about helping all his patients in their journey to recovery. That could be a high level athlete, a weekend warrior or the gardener that tweaked their lower back.

Coles, Woolies or Aldi and why?
I grew up shopping at Coles, but I have to say IGA is a close second just because they have epic produce.

I don’t mind a little under and over, I tend to switch it up week to week, variety is the spice of life.

I love the fact that we have some of the most amazing surf and diving the east coast has to offer. The mountains and national parks are our back yard and the community is second to none! You get a small town feel in a city environment
