Elias has taken his passion for sports and used this to help many others excel in their athletic careers. Initially completing a degree in Exercise and Sports Science, Elias has been involved in the exercise rehabilitation and strength and conditioning of many high performance athletes involved in soccer, rugby league/union, kick boxing and Olympic weight lifting.

In order to enhance his knowledge in sports biomechanics and human recovery Elias completed his degree in Masters of Physiotherapy. Since then he has had extensive experience in rural and metropolitan regions within both public hospitals and private practices.

The combined experience of a double degree has allowed Elias to specialise in optimising musculoskeletal treatment by addressing the anatomy and physiology of each individual patient.
