Second Opinion

Second Opinion Service

Ben is our Senior Physiotherapist and has an extensive background in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy.


Ben was involved with the South Sydney Rabbitohs system for 4 years as Head Physiotherapist for both the U17’s and U19’s squads. In his time at the club, he also assisted the medical team with the NRL squad. Prior to this, he worked with football teams Canterbury Bankstown FC and Rockdale City Suns in the National Premier League.


He has continued his professional development by completing courses - Athletic Groin Pain Symposium, Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Sport and Mastering Lower Limb Tendinopathy as well as dry needling courses.


He has a special interest in the treatment of complex hamstring and acute lower limb injuries. Ben believes that everybody is an athlete in their own right and therefore each individual should receive the same level of expertise and ongoing care like that of a professional athlete.

If recovery has felt slow, unclear, or inconsistent, a second opinion can provide the clarity you need. At The Addison, we offer an evidence-based review of your condition and your progress so far.


We reassess your movement, history, and imaging to clarify your diagnosis and outline a structured, realistic plan. When needed, we involve our wider team, including highly experienced sports physicians, dietitians, massage therapists, and strength and conditioning professionals — each recognised for expertise in their field.


We also collaborate with trusted external medical specialists to ensure your care is informed from every angle.


The goal is simple: a clear path forward, confidence in your plan, and support from a team who genuinely understands recovery. Helping people across Sydney return to movement, function, and a life not defined by pain.

Ben's creates simple and achievable programs for all clients and ensure that longevity is at the forefront of their rehab plan.
