Passionate about prevention

Jerome is the founding director of Above Health and a strong advocate for prevention-led care in musculoskeletal health.

Originally from the UK, he trained at the British School of Osteopathy in London before relocating to Australia, where he has enjoyed a diverse career across private practice, post-operative rehabilitation and high-performance sport.

Jerome supports people at every stage of life, from teens navigating growth spurts and the demands of sport, to older adults wanting to maintain mobility and independence.

Experience in elite sport

Jerome has worked with multiple sporting organisations including:

  • Sydney FC (NSW NPL Youth Soccer)
  • Weston-Molonglo FC (ACT CPL Men’s Soccer)
  • West Canberra Wanderers FC (ACT NPL Women’s Soccer)
  • Canberra Grammar School (ACT Junior Rugby Union)

This sporting foundation gives him a strong focus on performance, recovery and injury prevention, whether you’re competing or simply staying active for long-term health.

A community-focused mindset

As a proud Hornsby local, Jerome values building long-term relationships with patients, their families and the broader community. He believes everyone can develop confidence in their body, no matter their age or level of activity.

Outside the clinic, Jerome enjoys running, strength training and swimming. On weekends, you’ll usually find him exploring Sydney with his young family.
