BIO

Daniel received his Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Charles Sturt University in 2008 (Deans Award 2003 and 2006). After completing general rotations at Bendigo Health, Daniel commenced working in private practice in 2009. He began teaching at La Trobe University in 2011 and teaches anatomy, musculoskeletal and vestibular physiotherapy. He continues to work clinically and is co-director of Headfirst Physio, consulting in head and neck presentations (pain, headache, vertigo, temporomandibular disorders). Daniel has publications in the fields of anatomy, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy. He completed his PhD in 2025 with his thesis titled 'Assessment of Cervicocephalic Proprioception, Range of Motion, and Force Steadiness: Implications for Evaluation and Management of People with Neck Pain', which led to five publications and new knowledge in the field of head and neck physiotherapy (view his thesis here).
