DOMINIC BLOND
Physiotherapist 

Dominic is a dedicated physiotherapist with a unique background, having served nearly 10 years as a Clearance Diver in the Royal Australian Navy. After experiencing a series of injuries, he discovered a passion for physiotherapy and has since committed himself to optimizing patient outcomes.

With a keen interest in biomechanical assessment, Dominic integrates research-grade technology into his treatment approach, making elite-level assessments accessible to everyday individuals. He specialises in treating runners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes, ensuring each patient receives personalised care tailored to their specific needs.

Dominic’s clinical experience spans a diverse range of patients, from Olympic track athletes to recreational sports enthusiasts. He combines traditional physiotherapy techniques—such as soft tissue massage, mobilisations, and dry needling—with targeted strength and conditioning programs to enhance recovery and performance.

Since opening the Melbourne arm of The Running Room, Dominic has continued to refine his comprehensive approach to running and gait analysis. His commitment to patient care led him to establish a specialized practice focused on biomechanical assessments typically reserved for elite athletes. Using advanced tools like Zebris instrumented treadmills, Dominic provides insights that guide rehabilitation and promote injury prevention.
