Saul graduated from RMIT University in 2011 after completing a Bachelor and Masters degree in Osteopathy. Since graduating, Saul gained vast clinical experience and mentoring prior to co-founding Osteopaths of Ivanhoe in 2016.

Saul’s passion for Osteopathy lies in its ability to address not only a person’s symptoms but to identify the underlying cause. With each patient Saul takes great pride in carefully listening, establishing health goals, assessing, diagnosing and developing a treatment and management plan to ensure great long lasting outcomes.

Saul has broad experience in treating people from all walks of life – from newborns to the elderly, office workers to tradies and weekend warriors to the professional athlete.

Saul has completed further training in concussion care and management. He is driven to provide the best evidence based support and education. Saul loves connecting with sporting clubs and schools to educate on how to prevent and manage concussion injuries.

Growing up attending Primary and Secondary school all in Ivanhoe, he understands the local community and is driven to provide the highest standard of health care to families within the local area.

Saul enjoys educating and mentoring his staff and over the last 7 years has also overseen the RMIT University & Victoria University Internship programs at Osteopaths of Ivanhoe.

Outside of the clinic Saul’s passions are his young family, health, fitness & continued education.
