Max Calvanese -  Physiotherapist

Hello I'm Max. I began my journey as a Physiotherapist in Chile in 2016. After completing my degree, I was eager to jump into my career, but my partner and I decided to travel to Australia first to explore its beauty and adventures. We fell in love with the country and chose to make it our home. This meant I had to redo my studies in a new language, complete numerous exams, and handle extensive paperwork for recognition. Now, after 7 years in Australia with my partner and our 2-year-old son, those exams are just a memory. I am now an experienced physiotherapist with a focus on neck and back pain, as well as shoulder injuries. After a complete Achilles tendon tear three years ago, I also developed a keen interest in ankle and lower limb injuries. To me, rehabilitation combines manual therapy and exercises, but it also involves listening to my patients and considering external factors like sleep quality, stress, anxiety, and daily activities that impact their condition. As physiotherapists, we treat people, not just injuries, so your well-being is my priority. In my free time, I enjoy playing and following soccer, just like 90% of all South Americans! If you prefer to speak Spanish, I'm more than happy to accommodate.

 

I look forward to seeing you soon at BT Physiotherapy Mudjimba or Bli Bli!
