Glenn’s passion for helping others began during his competitive swimming years, where he discovered the importance of a holistic approach to health, nutrition, and movement for performance and recovery. This led him to pursue a career in osteopathy, blending evidence-based practice with individual patient needs as our Osteopath Brisbane at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Cannon Hill).
Glenn’s sporting journey evolved from swimming to triathlon, where he has competed at the Ironman and 70.3 World Championships, earning multiple podiums across Australia and recently being invited to professional-level racing. His lived experience provides unique insight into the demands of endurance sports, especially for runners and multisport athletes, and he is passionate about helping athletes stay injury-free while continuing to train, perform, and enjoy their sport.
Whether you’re an elite athlete, weekend warrior, or simply want to move without pain, Glenn’s goal is to help you build a stronger, more confident body.
“Believe in yourself more than you doubt yourself.”
“We are far more capable than we give ourselves credit for.”
Nurturing Wellness, Empowering You
As an experienced Osteopath with training in dry needling, rehabilitation, and ergonomics, Glenn Strutt integrates various Osteopathic approaches to support his patients in achieving optimal physical and health outcomes.
Glenn emphasises patient empowerment during his sessions, addressing all contributing factors rather than just problematic tissues. He combines manual therapy with active rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies, prioritising patient education and long-term outcomes.
“I encourage movement, not rest. Movement promotes blood flow, and with it, oxygen and nutrients that allow healing to occur. Most injuries result from excessive load, so we either reduce the load or raise the body’s capacity to handle it. That’s where strength and structure come in.” Dr Glenn Strutt, Osteopath at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Cannon Hill)
