Neal was born and raised in Mauritius before moving to Perth with his family during his adolescent years. He completed his secondary education at Willetton Senior High School before earning a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) from Curtin University, where he was awarded the 2017 Curtin Excellence Scholarship.
Neal has experience working across both private practice and hospital settings. In 2020, he worked in the Outpatient Musculoskeletal Department at Bentley Health Service, treating a wide range of conditions including neck, back, hip, knee and shoulder pain. He is a methodical clinician who looks beyond symptom management, striving to identify and address the underlying drivers of pain and dysfunction to achieve lasting outcomes.
Committed to lifelong learning, Neal has developed a strong interest in metabolic health and the role of insulin resistance and chronic disease pathways in overall health, recovery and long-term wellbeing. As an active member of the Australasian Metabolic Health Society, he regularly engages in continuing education to stay up to date with emerging evidence in metabolic health and integrates this knowledge into a holistic, patient-centred approach to care where appropriate.
Neal has also held positions as a sports trainer for the Noranda Hawks Football Club and Head Sports Trainer for Curtin Soccer Club, supporting both the Men’s State League and Women’s National Premier League teams.
Having played basketball at state level, Neal developed a keen interest in the prevention and management of sporting injuries. He is dedicated to helping patients achieve their rehabilitation goals through an evidence-based, multi-modal approach that combines joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, exercise prescription and gym-based rehabilitation programmes tailored to each individual’s needs.
