Reggie Heywood
Senior Physiotherapist
Reggie received his Masters in Physiotherapy from the University of Queensland in 2020 after working as an Exercise Physiologist & Sports Scientist since 2016. He also pursued an honours thesis during his undergraduate studies looking at the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) in people with cancer, which led to publishing two additional exercise physiology articles in peer reviewed journals. From this, he has developed expertise in delivering evidence-based interventions for enhancing quality and ease of movement to allow people to be their strongest and healthiest.
Years of experience in strength & conditioning coaching for a range of sports, as well as a personal background in competitive weightlifting, has allowed Reggie to develop an understanding of the training demands of athletes ranging from developmental to Olympic levels. Combining this with a passion for teaching anatomy, Reggie appreciates the intricacies of human movement and how optimising physical function can help people achieve their health and performance goals.
Reggie is experienced with practices in dry needling and western acupuncture, and has particular interest in diagnosing and treating neck, back and shoulder pain in addition to all types of sports injuries. He also likes to treat injuries following motor vehicle accidents, pre/post orthopaedic surgery rehab and dizziness/vertigo management.
Reggie has taken leave from the practice for now, but intends on returning soon to recommence practice with us.
