Doug has been a clinician since 1987 and worked in a wide variety of private and hospital-based environments, both in Australia and overseas.

Doug has personally taught several thousand health professionals the skills of anatomy, dry needling and recently the application of sleep education.

Along the way, Doug recognised the critical link between ongoing professional development and professional enjoyment. He completed a postgraduate diploma in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, a postgraduate diploma in clinical acupuncture, and specialisation in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Doug recently completed his PhD at Curtin University.
