Optimal Recovery and Rehab are dedicated to helping you recover and restore your health with expert care. Co-directed by James O’Connor and Ben Avenia, our team works closely with Neurosurgeons, Orthopaedic surgeons, and GPs to provide tailored rehabilitation plans to meet your needs. Principal Physiotherapist (BPhty), APAM Ben Avenia provides services at Cleveland House Specialist Centre.

Ben has gained extensive experience in providing evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s needs. With a background in sports physiotherapy, including roles with Easts Rugby Union and Carina water polo, Ben has developed a strong understanding of the physical demands of sports. Over the years he has worked with multiple neurosurgeons, GP’s and orthopaedic surgeons. Ben works casually on weekends at Greenslopes Private Hospital keeping up to date with surgeon protocols and the Ramsay team.

Ben ensures that all patients feel heard and actively engaged in their treatment process. His approach combines thorough assessment, clear communication, and personalised rehabilitation plans, all grounded in the latest research. Outside of the clinic he enjoys fishing, camping, gym, and staying active through various sports. These interests fuel his passion for health and wellness and keep him connected to the importance of a work life balance. Ben is available in our Cleveland, Greenslopes and Mt Gravatt clinics.
