Irwin Kim

After completing my Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) at Curtin University in Western Australia, I made the exciting move to Melbourne to further my career. I have a strong commitment to advancing my Physiotherapy skills, which is why I am currently pursuing my Masters of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at La Trobe University.

I am actively involved in the ECHO Trial at the University of Melbourne, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reducing pain and disability in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. As one of the dedicated Physiotherapists contributing to this research, I remain at the forefront of innovative treatment approaches.

Combining my expertise as both a Physiotherapist and Strength & Conditioning coach, I empower my clients to reach their goals. I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages and hold a special interest in optimising athletic potential and enhancing biomechanics.

Additionally, I am a qualified Clinical Pilates Instructor and skilled in dry needling. I am registered as a provider with WorkCover, TAC, Medicare Australia, and DVA, ensuring comprehensive care for my patients.

I have actively engaged in Sports Physiotherapy, having worked closely with esteemed organisations such as Camberwell Magpies Cricket Club (VPC), Seaford Football Netball Club (MPNFL), and the University Blues Volleyball Club (AVL). My involvement with these teams has sharpened my expertise in sports-related injuries and rehabilitation.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I lead an active lifestyle. I am an enthusiastic runner and devoted gym-goer. During my free time, I cherish moments with my beloved Dalmatian puppy, Lucy.
