Oliver Butler

Physiotherapist

 

About

Growing up in Colac, Oliver was surrounded by sport. Every waking moment was spent in a pair of runners, and there wasn't an activity he didn't try his hand at. Along with his combined interest in the medical field and passion for helping others, pursuing a career in Physiotherapy was an obvious choice.

​

Upon completing his degree at La Trobe University in 2016 his love for the ocean led him to Torquay. Oliver has been working as a Sports Physiotherapist in the Geelong and Surf Coast regions since, and is currently involved in Clinical Research with The University Of Melbourne.
