Special interest in falls prevention · Balance and strength · Cognitive and exercise integration · Surgical rehabilitation


The physiotherapist your community has trusted for years

Some physiotherapists treat patients. Vernon builds relationships. And in a community like Malvern East and Caulfield South, that distinction matters enormously.

With experience spanning elite sporting environments, surgical suites and family clinics, Vernon brings a depth of clinical knowledge that is genuinely rare. When you see Vernon, you’re in very experienced hands.


What to expect with Vernon

Vernon listens carefully, asks the right questions and takes the time to truly understand what you need — not just right now, but long term. His approach combines hands-on therapy with tailored strength and Clinical Pilates programs, always built around your goals and your body’s current capacity.

As a university lecturer and tutor in physiotherapy, Vernon doesn’t just practise at the leading edge of his field — he teaches it. That commitment to clinical excellence runs through everything he does.


Keeping you steady, sharp and strong

Falls prevention is one of the most important — and most underestimated — areas of health for people over 60. What makes Vernon’s approach distinctive is the way he combines physical exercise with cognitive challenges — training your brain and body to work together in the real-world situations where it matters most.

The result? Patients who feel steadier, more confident and more capable than they have in years. If staying independent and active as you get older matters to you, Vernon is exactly who you want in your corner.


A little more about Vernon

Outside the clinic, Vernon plays and coaches cricket at his local club and — perhaps unexpectedly — is a keen salsa dancer. He’s deeply connected to the local community through longstanding relationships with East Malvern and Tooronga Cricket Club, East Malvern Junior Football Club and family clinics in Caulfield South. If you’ve lived in this area for a while, there’s a good chance someone you know has already seen Vernon.
