Aaron has been a keen sports person for many years. For over 10 years he was a Scottish national level swimmer. Since relocating to Singapore he has focussed on a balanced fitness regime developing his programme to improve not only strength but balance, core control and body awareness. He now plays Gaelic football with the Singapore Gaelic Lions. Aaron is continually looking to share his enjoyment of exercise and well-being with his patients, so that they too can strive towards their goals or look forward to setting new goals for the future.
Aaron’s post graduate education includes; a Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine, Kinetic Link Training; acupuncture/dry needling; sport massage and more! In Aaron’s eyes, there is not one approach to injury management that suits everybody, therefore his individualised assessment and treatment plans can aid anyone on their journey to full recovery.

She has worked with clients with long term pain and postural issues as well as elite athletes and professional dancers.
