Paulo is an accredited exercise physiologist after obtaining his Bachelor of Exercise Physiology degree from UNSW. Paulo decided to study exercise physiology after spending numerous years coaching sports in various settings and playing competitive football (soccer) in his youth.
Paulo has worked in various settings as both an exercise physiologist and a fitness instructor. Paulo has worked in semi-professional sporting environments so understands the needs of the elite athlete, weekend warrior and everyday person wanting to be more active.
In Paulo’s spare time he prioritises staying fit and healthy by cycling, running and going to the gym several times a week. He is a strong advocate of appropriate load management for those with existing injuries, those at risk of injury and those who are looking to increase their exercise capacity.
Paulo is very interested in how exercise and lifestyle modifications can be prescribed as a long-term medicine to treat and assist in preventing numerous chronic conditions and injuries as well as to those who are recovering from an acute injury.
