Our Team
At Rouse Hill Chiropractic, you’re in good hands!
All of our Chiropractors have studied for 5 years full-time in some of Australia’s leading universities.
They all have a degree in science and a Masters in Chiropractic from Macquarie University.
Joseph graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Masters in Chiropractic. Joseph is the principal chiropractor at Rouse Hill chiropractic and has been practising in the hills district for 20 years. Joseph’s clinical experience has grown over time and he feels that you can always continue to learn and develop as a practitioner. This principle allows him to treat and manage a wide range of conditions. “I have been brought up with chiropractic being an important part of my growth and development, so I feel that everyone can benefit from chiropractic care regardless of your age. I consider it a privilege to treat each and every person”.
Joseph has competed at a club level in many sports including basketball, soccer, football and tennis to name a few. Joseph has also been a competitive runner at both sprinting and longer distances. Currently he is an active member of the Queenscliff beach surf lifesaving club. Having completed his bronze medallion in the water and on the beach he discovered a passion for competitive beach sprinting, where he has run and placed at a state level.
Keeping physically fit and active has been an integral part of Joseph’s life. He has had several injuries throughout his sporting days from which he has had to overcome and learn from. This gives him a detailed insight and ultimately a strong clinical advantage when it comes to the treatment and management of sportspersons. “Chiropractic can really aid in a person’s recovery from injury but more than that, it allows you to perform at your peak when it counts most”.
Furthermore Joseph is the proud father of two young children giving him not only immense joy but even more clinical perspective and the enthusiasm to treat and care for families in his clinic.

Olivia graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science followed by a Masters of Chiropractic. She originates from Orange in the NSW central west and chose to move to Sydney to pursue her career. Olivia integrates a multimodal approach to the care she provides at Rouse Hill Chiropractic, while always maintaining best current practice. “I know that every individual is different, and their healthcare should reflect that. It brings me so much enjoyment to help someone be the very best version of them and achieve something important.”
Olivia has a passion for health and fitness and has competitive experience in both netball and swimming. She has represented at a national university level and holds a national B badge in umpiring, allowing her to be invited to current state and national level competitions.
Olivia umpires and plays at Metro League level with Netball NSW, and trains with a combination of weights and cardio for personal fitness. Her involvement with competitive sports has opened up opportunity to teach others following a similar path – especially with umpiring – and she enjoys assisting with the confidence and development of a younger generation.
Experience in sport and a love for the human body has translated well into practice for Olivia. She focuses on functionality and biomechanics and has seen, and experienced, a variety of injuries herself. Olivia knows that understanding the ‘what’ and ‘why’ components of the body are important with recovery. “We are capable of doing amazing things. With Chiropractic care we are better able to move and function as a whole, be it with daily activities or elite performances.”

Leo completed Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and graduated with a Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University. He has a passion for looking after the human body and focuses on patient goals so that they can return to ‘optimal performance’.
Leo has a keen interest in understanding the biomechanics of joints and how one thing is always linked to another. Through careful assessment and attention to detail, he is able to educate his patients and improve the quality of daily activities. Some of his treatment methods include manual adjustments, myofascial soft tissue release, exercise prescription and rehabilitation.
When not at work, Leo enjoys playing oztag, training at the gym, wake-boarding and skiing. Through sporting activities he found that injuries kept re-occurring due to the lack of recovery and discipline with rehabilitation exercises. Through advice and manual treatment from both Chiropractors and Physiotherapists, Leo has found multiple ways to help prevent injuries and progress with physical activity suited for each patient.
Further training and qualifications:
- A member of the Australian Chiropractic Association (ACA)
- Registered with AHPRA
- Level 2 Senior First Aid
- Musculoskeletal dry needling – Level 1 & 2
