Bioathletic

Trav is our Founder and Chief Visionary at Bioathletic. A multi-skilled Physiotherapist and Strength & Conditioning Coach, Trav dreamed up the Bioathletic concept after spending many years working with athletes where the urban athlete could be treated in the same way as the professional athlete.

Twelve years later, Trav still believes that rest is the enemy of recovery and gets a kick out of seeing our urban athletes leave in better shape than they were pre-injury. After a taking a brief adjournment from clinical duties Trav is now back taking appointments and working closely with .marlins.rugby in the competition, while also nurturing relationships with our partners, chugging coffee at record speeds and building our awesome and ever-growing team of health professionals.

REST IS NOT THE ANSWER

While you rest, your body loses strength, flexibility and conditioning. Injuries need the exact opposite. Injuries need loading to stimulate healing, and the underlying cause needs to be addressed, not ignored.

Here’s why:

🔺Muscles, bones, and connective tissues need to be challenged to heal properly and adapt to the demands of the activity.

🔺Imbalances and weaknesses can contribute to injuries. Addressing these through targeted prehab can help prevent future problems.

🔺Controlled loading can promote faster tissue repair and improve overall function.

🔺Staying active can boost mood and motivation, which are crucial for a positive recovery.

MEET RUBEN

Ruben is one of our gun Physiotherapists at , bringing a movement-focused, no-fuss approach to injury rehab and performance. With a background in competitive soccer and a current spot in the Warringah Cricket Club lineup, Ruben knows firsthand what it takes to bounce back from injury and perform at your best.

He’s got a sharp eye for gym-based rehab, post-op recovery and treating neck, shoulder and back issues—whether you’re an athlete chasing peak performance or just trying to stay pain-free in everyday life. Ruben’s all about making your rehab simple, actionable and actually enjoyable (well, almost).

When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Ruben at the gym, out on the cricket pitch or tracking down the best burgers on the Northern Beaches—purely for recovery purposes, of course.

Next time you’re in the clinic or watching .marlins.rugby at Manly Oval, come say 👋
