When it comes to experience, clinical expertise, and genuine care for patients, Sandy stands out as one of the most respected physiotherapists in Logan. As the Director and Principal Physiotherapist at Logan Physiotherapy, working alongside his wife, Justine, Sandy brings over 30 years of hands-on clinical experience, advanced postgraduate qualifications, and a calm, confident approach to helping people recover from pain and injury.
Whether you’re dealing with a new injury, long-standing pain, or a complex WorkCover claim, Sandy’s depth of knowledge and practical problem-solving skills help patients feel supported, understood, and confident in their recovery journey.
A Career Built on Expertise and Lifelong Learning
Sandy’s physiotherapy career began straight out of high school, driven by a strong interest in human movement, injury recovery, and helping people get back to doing what they love.
He completed his Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) at the University of Sydney in 1993, graduating in 1994. Determined to further develop his clinical skills, Sandy went on to complete a Master of Applied Science in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy in 2001, also at the University of Sydney.
This advanced postgraduate training places Sandy in the category of a Tier 2 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, meaning he has significantly higher qualifications than most physiotherapists. This level of expertise allows him to manage complex musculoskeletal conditions, persistent pain, and injuries that may not have responded well to previous treatment.
What is a Tier 2 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist?
Being classed as a Tier 2 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist is an important distinction. It means Sandy has:
- Advanced postgraduate training in musculoskeletal physiotherapy
- Highly developed clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills
- The ability to manage complex, acute, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions
- Extensive experience treating injuries involving joints, muscles, nerves, and the spine
For patients, this translates to clearer diagnoses, more targeted treatment plans, and better long-term outcomes.
Helping You Move Better, Faster, and With Confidence
One of Sandy’s greatest strengths is his ability to accurately diagnose the cause of pain, not just treat the symptoms. Whether a condition is acute, long-standing, or complex, Sandy takes the time to understand the full picture before developing a tailored treatment plan.
His approach focuses on:
- Relieving pain effectively
- Restoring movement and function
- Preventing recurrence of injury
- Helping patients return to work, sport, and everyday activities safely
Patients often appreciate Sandy’s clear explanations, practical advice, and confident guidance, particularly when they’ve been struggling with pain for a long time or feel unsure about the next steps.
Special Interest in WorkCover Physiotherapy
Sandy has a special interest in WorkCover claims, using his extensive experience to help injured workers navigate what can often be a stressful and confusing process.
Workplace injuries can be complex – not just physically, but emotionally and administratively as well. Sandy understands the requirements of WorkCover and works closely with patients, doctors, employers, and insurers to ensure:
- Appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Clear documentation and communication
- Safe and sustainable return-to-work strategies
- Ongoing support throughout the claim
His calm, knowledgeable approach helps reduce stress and gives patients confidence that they are being guided by someone who truly understands the system.
Leadership at Logan Physio
Sandy has been the Director and Principal Physiotherapist at Logan Physiotherapy since 2005, working alongside his wife, Justine, to build a clinic known for high-quality, evidence-based care.
Under their leadership, Logan Physiotherapy focuses on:
- Individualised treatment plans
- Ongoing professional development for the clinical team
- Honest, clear communication with patients
- Long-term outcomes rather than quick fixes
Sandy and Justine’s shared vision for the clinic ensures that every patient receives the highest standard of care in a supportive environment.
Life Outside the Clinic
When Sandy isn’t in the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his family and staying active. He loves getting outdoors, whether it’s surfing or heading out for a hike, and understands first-hand how important physical activity is for both physical and mental wellbeing.
This active lifestyle helps Sandy connect with patients on a practical level – he knows what it means to want to get back to sport, hobbies, and an active life without pain holding you back.
