Luke Peterson

DIRECTOR & SENIOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Special interests:​

​

Luke is the director and principal physiotherapist at Eastside Physio + Co. He has been practising physiotherapy since 2012 and has developed a special interest in helping individuals with shoulder pain, migraine management, and persistent neck issues.

​

Luke began his physiotherapy career by completing the Masters of Physiotherapy program at Sydney University following a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Sports Science from the University of Wollongong. 

​

Shoulder injuries are one of Luke’s main areas of interest.  He has completed post-graduate education in Frozen Shoulder; Rotator Cuff injury management, and Shoulder Instability management.  Having completed more than 1000 shoulder treatments to date, he is well suited to managing those with complex shoulder conditions. His approach revolves around early and precise diagnoses, which lays the foundation for tailored treatment plans. For complex shoulder cases, Luke works to create a strategy aimed at avoiding surgery where possible, or when needed, co-ordinate pre and post-surgical care with a trusted shoulder surgeon for optimal long-term outcomes.

​

Luke has completed post-graduate training in the renowned Watson Headache® Approach, a specialized technique aimed at identifying and treating the underlying causes of headaches. This advanced training equips Luke to provide targeted care for individuals suffering from a range of headache disorders, including migraines, tension-type headaches, and cervicogenic headaches, which originate from the neck.

​

Sharing knowledge is a key value of Eastside Physio + Co.  Luke adds to this through his mentoring of junior staff as well as education work with local doctors and health practitioners which aims to upskill their management of shoulder conditions. 

​

Luke is actively involved in a workplace health initiative providing onsite physio for Woolworths in Victoria.  The primary goal of our onsite physio program is a dual benefit to both stakeholders and staff members by improving employee wellbeing whilst reducing workplace injury.  He is also actively involved in injury early intervention programs with medium and large corporations including Bunnings, Qantas, Aldi, and BWS.

 

Outside of work Luke keeps busy with his 2 young girls, June and Maggie.  He enjoys staying active, getting outdoors, and pretty much any sport - especially boxing and Footy.
