Author
Joseph Ross
Joseph Ross is a Chartered Physiotherapist. He studied in Scotland at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and then worked several years in London and in private practice in Norway. He returned home to Australia and worked in a major Melbourne hospital, the Alfred, before entering private practice. For two seasons he was contracted to one of the leading A.F.L. football teams as their physiotherapist. His main area of interest is in spinal problems, and his professional work is almost exclusively dominated by such. A wry neck when he was fifteen influenced him to choose physiotherapy as a career. More recently he has had a prolapsed lumbar disc, which he successfully keeps under control. Please check out my website: richmondphysiotherapybacksnecks.com.au
