Raul, originally from Brazil, brings over 10 years of clinical experience to the PhysioMotion Cairns team. Raul was born and raised in a small countryside city in Brazil, where he developed a strong passion for sport and health, along with a dream of becoming a healthcare professional.
He completed his Physiotherapy degree at the Federal University of São Paulo, one of Brazil’s leading universities, and has since worked across a wide range of clinical settings. Raul has extensive experience in home-based rehabilitation, treating patients with complex and long-term conditions, which helped him develop a holistic and compassionate approach to care.
Raul has a strong clinical interest in spinal conditions, post-operative rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, geriatric physiotherapy, and pain management. He also integrates acupuncture into his practice and completed advanced training in Acupuncture and Moxibustion at the China Training Center in Beijing, further expanding his skills in managing chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
In 2020, Raul had the opportunity to visit Australia and immediately fell in love with the lifestyle, beaches, and climate. His passion for physiotherapy, combined with his love of travel and personal growth, led him to pursue his professional career in Australia.
Raul is passionate about helping his patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their daily activities. He takes a patient-centred, evidence-based approach to treatment and enjoys supporting people through every stage of their rehabilitation journey.
Outside the clinic, Raul enjoys cycling, running, going to the gym, and discovering new places, foods, and cultures.
Raul looks forward to welcoming you to PhysioMotion Cairns and supporting you in achieving your health and movement goals. View details »
