Simon Nelson

B.App.Science.Physiotherapy, Grad.Diploma.Ergonomics.

I commenced at Healthcare on Collins (known at the time as Melbourne Sports Medicine Centre) in 1993.

Areas of Special Interest:

  • Sports Injury
  • Workplace Injury
  • Cycling Injury (Bike Fit)
  • Vertigo (Dizziness)
  • TMJ (Jaw) pain and headache

I have a long physiotherapy experience at professional and local AFL and soccer clubs. I also have further ergonomic qualifications and experience in the prevention and treatment of work-related injury.

My approach to physiotherapy is to identify and address the underlying cause of a pain and injury. I focus on addressing symptoms and movement dysfunction through manual and exercise therapy along with advice regarding posture and physical activity levels. I encourage an understanding of the diagnosis formulating, with my patients, a plan towards recovery combining physiotherapy techniques and the involvement of other health professionals as required.
