Out of High School, Ben studied a Bachelor of Education in PDHPE and worked in Canberra for 7 years in a number of High Schools and at a Sports College (Erindale College) with athletes from the Talented Sports Program. Whilst he thoroughly enjoyed teaching, he felt a strong desire to return to study to learn more about how the human body works and how he may be able to help people individually achieve their goal to be pain free and perform at their full potential.
After graduating from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Physiotherapy, Ben worked in a number of private practices and hospitals in Northwest Sydney before deciding to establish his own practice.
“With a passion to develop his own business and a reputation of delivering ethical treatment standards, Lexington Health was born. Creating a collaborative environment for all your health needs.”
Our primary aim at Lexington Health is to find why patients are in pain or cannot perform at their best. We strongly believe in education of the diagnosis and reasons for their symptoms as this helps to provide a shared responsibility in resolving their problems. Your experienced Physiotherapist can then create a specific treatment plan tailored just for you.
Whether it be physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, nutrition, or many of our other holistic health options, we guarantee that investing in your health is invaluable.
We provide a personalised 1 on 1 service to our patients by offering a 1 hour Initial consultation and 30-40 minute follow up appointments in our professional Bella Vista based practice.
Alternatively, if you are unable to attend the practice we also offer home visits to selected groups/individuals.
Lexington Health understand that communication is the most fundamental aspect of improving our patient’s health. We listen closely to when and how symptoms started, what aggravates your pain and how this can affect your daily life. From here, we are able to diagnose your injury, and together create an individual treatment plan catered to your goals. We liaise frequently with your referring GP, Surgeon or Specialist, employer or coach and update them on your progress and future treatment plans.
Our Physiotherapy treatments involve a combination of manual therapy, biomechanical corrective exercises, mobility and strength training to resolve your current problem and prevent recurrence. Our focus is primarily on active treatment with an emphasis on ‘helping you help yourself’. We have state of the art rehabilitation equipment and gym on site, to assist in getting you back to feeling your best as soon as possible.
