Brendan originated from Ipswich in Queensland and is a newly graduated Osteopath based out of Cultivate in Newcasle and Singleton. After a decade as a Civil Engineer, Brendan chose to embark on a transformative journey, redirecting his career towards one that would have a more direct impact on individuals' well-being. This led him to Southern Cross University, where he successfully earned a Bachelor of Clinical Science (Osteopathy) and a Master of Osteopathic Medicine, solidifying his expertise in the field.

Brendan's passion for health, wellness and movement is deeply rooted in his background as a high-level swimmer during his youth and now extends to his love for functional movement through CrossFit where he is a certified CrossFit coach. He combines his experiences to underscore the importance of optimal movement mechanics in fostering a healthy, pain-free lifestyle.

Brendan is a registered practitioner with AHPRA and approaches his treatment through a holistic lens that considers both physical and mental well-being. His commitment extends beyond mere symptom alleviation, aiming to empower individuals to manage their pain through constantly scalable movement based on the individuals needs and abilities.

Advice

Cultivate Recovery is the leading health and wellness facility at Newcastle and Singleton. At Cultivate, we offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to help all individuals live pain-free lives and optimise their overall health and well-being.

Our range of services includes manual therapy services in the form of Osteopathy and Remedial Massage as well as the following recovery services:

Spot Cryotherapy (Newcastle only): This innovative therapy involves targeted application of extreme cold to joints or muscles to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote healing.
Normatec Compression Boots: NormaTec synergistically combines three distinct massage techniques to speed the body’s normal recovery process: pulsing compression, gradients, and distal release. These help to enhance circulation, reduce swelling and accelerate recovery.
Oxygen Therapy (Newcastle only): Our hyperbaric chambers provide a controlled environment with increased oxygen levels. Under higher atmospheric pressure, additional oxygen is dissolved into the blood plasma and increased oxygen in the plasma leads to higher amounts of oxygen being delivered to the body’s tissues, organs and brain.
Ice Baths and Infrared Saunas: These therapies offer benefits such as reducing inflammation, relieving muscle soreness, and promoting relaxation.
