Will graduated from Victoria University in 2018 following 5 years of study where he obtained his Bachelor/Master's in clinical science (Osteopathy).Since graduating, Will has worked in traditional Osteo clinics and more recently within a clinic where traditional "hands on" Osteo is combined with exercise rehabilitation in a gym setting.
