Alex completed his Master of Health Science in 2025, with his research focusing on return-to-sport decision-making following ACL injury. Building on this, he is currently working towards his PhD, where his research focuses on field testing and performance metrics in athletic populations.
In addition to his clinical work at Axis, Alex serves as the Lead Physiotherapist for the New Zealand Women's National Football Team (Football Ferns). He works closely with athletes to bridge the gap between rehabilitation, injury risk mitigation, and elite performance.
Outside of the clinic and the pitch, Alex enjoys spending time in the outdoors. Having previously competed as a ski racer, he maintains a strong interest in alpine sports, as well as surfing, hiking, and spending time on the snow.
