With more than 15 years of experience in physiotherapy, Elliot holds a Bachelor of Exercise Science from Griffith University and a Doctorate of Physiotherapy from Bond University. Growing up playing rugby, touch football and surfing, he spent plenty of time in physio clinics himself, and it was the care and knowledge of the people who treated him that set him on the path to becoming a physiotherapist.

Elliot founded Blue Water Physio after years working as both a physiotherapist and in management for larger mobile providers, where he saw firsthand how inconsistent care and high staff turnover affected the client experience. He built Blue Water Physio as a boutique practice instead, staying closely involved in every client’s journey and bringing a warm, practical and straightforward approach to every session.

A born and raised Gold Coast local, Elliot spends most of his free time near the water. Outside of work you’ll find him running after his kids, chasing a surf, or talking about the swell over coffee at his local café. He keeps a steady routine of beach walks, weight sessions and surfing, with a newer obsession for interval swimming at the local aquatic centre.
