Tim (Timothy) Garrett, Principal Physiotherapist at Ahead Physiotherapy, has over 15 years of experience as a physiotherapist. After obtaining his Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree through University of Queensland, Tim has worked predominantly in private practice clinics treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, developing a particular interest in helping people with headaches, migraines, neck pain and TMJ (jaw) conditions. He spent 5 years in Launceston, Tasmania, where he met his wife, before relocating to the Sunshine Coast for some warmer weather, working in Kawana before opening his own private practice in Currimundi.
Tim works closely with local Sunshine Coast Doctors, Dentists and other Specialists (ENT/Maxillo-facial surgeons) in his management of jaw disorders. He has recently developed an online eBook to help raise awareness and understanding of jaw conditions, and is continually attending professional development in this area to be able to help his patients as much as possible.
Tim is an avid long-distance runner, and also loves treating fellow-runners and sportspeople. He is also an accredited Level 2 Athletics Coach. Tim loves balancing work, running training and spending time with his beautiful family (Tim has 2 young children), including travelling whenever he can.
Tim’s bucket list includes:
- Travelling as much as possible
- Learning a second language (currently working on Cantonese!)
- Lowering his running PBs (currently at 32:40 for 10km)
