He has a special interest in the assessment and treatment of tendon conditions, including Achilles, patellar, proximal hamstring, and gluteal using evidence-based strength and loading programs.

Raffaello also enjoys managing acute lower limb injuries, such as MCL/ACL ligament rupture or tears, acute ankle sprains and post-operative knee or hip clients.

In his spare time, Raffaello can usually be found running around Mentone preparing for his upcoming race or at Revo Fitness working on his strength and conditioning. Raffaello’s last major race was the 2026 Gold Coast Marathon, which he completed in 3:28:13!

In Ellie’s spare time you’ll find her in a reformer Pilates class, with her head in the latest book, walking her loveable lab Athens, enjoying the sun (whilst trying to not get burnt) at the beach, catching up with her friends, or cheering on her beloved tiges at the MCG.

Outside of work, Steve is a proud dad of three and loves spending time with his family.

Sport plays a pretty big part in life. He is a keen runner, an enthusiastic junior football coach and a lifelong AFL fan. When he’s not treating patients, training or standing on the boundary coaching, he loves travelling, eating well, spending time with family and friends and generally finding another challenge to throw himself into.

And despite more than 25 years as a physiotherapist, he remains firmly convinced that getting people stronger, moving and doing the things they love beats telling them what they shouldn’t do.
