Coby started his manual therapy career in 2001, when he started working as a sole practitioner. He created the muscle medicine brand that was brought to life in 2015 in the lead up to the Double Bay clinic opening in 2019. Helping people feel their best physically is his passion.
Why manual therapy?
I started my working life as a chef, long, late, antisocial hours and a life that was work hard/play hard. I realised it was not the life that was going to create the future I wanted, so I looked for another path. I’ve always been good with my hands and leaning towards manual therapy helped me carve out a healthier lifestyle.
Since I started working in manual therapy I have loved learning more and more about the human body and how it can be improved and maintained for optimal health.
Why muscle medicine?
After 10+ years in the industry, I had heard from many clients that they weren’t able to get the same results elsewhere, plus they complained about the wait time for appointments with me!
At this time Danni and I started dreaming about forming a company where we could work together and help more people achieve their goals. Our vision was to be able to help more clients achieve their wellness goals by building a collection of well trained and skilled therapists. We achieved this by providing opportunities for therapists to learn on the job from practitioners with years of experience.
I knew once I left my formal education behind, the real learning started by listening to my mentors and working beside some fantastic therapists. I wanted to pay it forward to the manual therapy community that helped me become the therapist I am.
So muscle medicine developed into our current clinic in Double Bay in 2019 and I am really proud of the team we have assembled, the team we have seen go on to live their dreams and those who will come in the future.
Outside the Treatment Room
Many of my clients know my love for music, food, and wine, but what many don’t know is I play a mean didgeridoo and I’m not that bad on the bongos either.
