About

Patrick completed his studies at Victoria University and has over 10 years of clinical experience. Upon graduating Patrick moved to Ireland to further his learning through many post-graduate courses in both the UK and Europe while working full time at two busy Osteopathic clinics in the city of Dublin. As the saying goes, ‘Home is where the heart is’ and so in 2016 Patrick returned to South Gippsland and has been working full time as an Osteopath whilst also lecturing Osteopathy at RMIT University and Victoria University.  Patrick started Inverloch Osteopathy in 2022 with the practice growing quickly.

As part of his Osteopathy degree, Patrick completed a master’s research paper analysing biomechanics of the lower limb in a group of recreational runners. This gave him a great insight into the variation of running patterns and a particularly strong interest in running related injuries. Pat’s interests also focus on upper and lower limb biomechanics and more specifically their relationship in both acute and chronic neck, lower back and pelvic pain.

In the treatment room Pat alters his treatment methods to fit individual patient’s needs. He uses a variety of techniques including soft tissue, joint manipulation, indirect and functional techniques along with dry needling therapy. Patrick is DMA certified clinical Pilates instructor. Where indicated Pat compliments his hands on treatment with exercise prescription to assist patients from all walks of life, ranging from children to the elderly and social to elite athletes.

Patrick comes from a sporting background and some of his personal highlights include: Playing for Gippsland Power (TAC Cup) and the Casey Scorpions (VFL), Leongatha Football Club Premiership Player (2017, 2018), Playing Gaelic football in Ireland, and Melbourne marathon. Away from work Pat likes to spend time with his family, getting out to the family farm, camping, running and surfing.
