I created Active & Ageless over 50s health club, as I believe there is a need to provide people with age adjusted health & fitness strategies to lead a better quality of life. At our club, you receive specialist trainers, as well as the appropriate equipment. In short, if we look after our bodies at any age, our lives can be so much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
With a background in accounting, I transitioned in health & fitness to follow my calling. Having once been less active, I understand the challenges and obstacles to embark on a fitness journey.
I wholeheartedly believe that exercise has the power to transform lives. That is why I am committed to providing unwavering support and motivation. Together, we will celebrate every milestone achieved toward reaching your fitness goals.
I’ve been involved in sports for as long as I can remember. With qualifications in Exercise Science and Training across different sports, I have a solid grasp and real love for well-organised exercise programs.
To me, it’s crucial to really get to know the person you’re working with. To team up with them so that they achieve the goals they’re aiming for. It’s all collaborative effort. Especially being over 50 myself. Honestly, I believe in the power of staying active!
CHIROPRACTOR / TRAINERMy passion and skills skilled in healthcare are helping and rehabilitating people. My background has been a lifetime of high level sports and there’s not many injuries that I haven’t come across. A chiropractor is not all about cracking backs. My treatments are approached in a holistic way.
Using various techniques like dry needling, soft tissue and adjustments to name a few, help in treating all sports related injuries, workplace injuries, postural issues, general aches and pains, and more. Overall, my aim is to have you back to your optimal best in as short a time as possible.
PHYSIOTHERAPIST & CLINICAL PILATES INSTRUCTOR
I hold a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the Australian Catholic University. Additionally, I also bring a wealth of knowledge as a Pilates ITC instructor. I offer holistic and evidence-based care for musculoskeletal conditions, women’s health, sporting injuries, chronic pain management, individualised programs for hip and knee osteoarthritis, 1:1 clinical exercise and group mat Pilates classes.
My approach is to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms or injuries. For this reason, my mission is to provide high quality physiotherapy services, focusing on thorough assessments, individualised treatment programs, and long-term prevention.

OUR CANTERBURY TEAM
I created Active & Ageless over 50s health club, as I believe there is a need to provide people with age adjusted health & fitness strategies to lead a better quality of life. At our club, you receive specialist trainers, as well as the appropriate equipment. In short, if we look after our bodies at any age, our lives can be so much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
Andrew Dao has a Masters of Physiotherapy and Bachelors of Exercise Physiology from University of Sydney. He’s been in the health industry for over 5 years, treating clients with all different injuries and fitness backgrounds. He has a passion for helping mums and dads rediscover their physical identity, and supporting retirees and seniors who are motivated to maintain strength and independence. This is done through conducting a thorough assessment with the client then developing an individualised treatment plan with them. His treatment uses a combination of hands-on treatment (massage, dry needling, cupping), effective exercise and personalised advice for long-term management.
When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find him running, lifting weights at the gym, or hitting the golf course. He is also a diehard Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs supporter!
Before gaining my Certificate 3 & 4 in Fitness in my early 20’s, I took ten years away from the workforce to stay home and raise my three beautiful children. I opened my home based gym in 2018 and ran a successful business for 5 years.
A holistic approach to health and fitness is my non-negotiable. Because, it’s not just about exercise. Many of the daily things we do contribute to living a fulfilling life. The things we eat, the way we move, the people we spend time with, to name a few, all play a vital role in our wellbeing. Trying to find a balance is tough, but we get one life, one opportunity to live our lives to the fullest. For me, being able to be a part of someone’s journey is an honour.
