About Matthew Lu
My approach to care: I believe that effective treatment is best informed by high-quality evidence, experience and client preference. By emphasising collaboration and personalised delivery of care, I aim to promote client ownership of their recovery to achieve sustainable self-management and long-term successful outcomes.
I am an avid rock climber and regularly enjoy spending time outdoors in the Grampians. My experience and passion in bouldering provides me first-hand knowledge and experience in treating climbing-specific injuries.
