Marcin has over 20 years of physiotherapy experience across Europe and Australia and is the Director of Forge West End and Vitalis Physiotherapy in Brisbane. After graduating with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the Medical University of Gdańsk in Poland in 2005, he began his healthcare career in Australia in 2008, completing a Diploma of Remedial Massage at the Australian Institute of Applied Science. To practise as a physiotherapist here, he then completed a second Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Notre Dame Australia in Fremantle.
Throughout his career he has worked across private practice and musculoskeletal settings, moving from junior clinician to University Clinical Educator, Practice Manager and business owner. He specialises in complex musculoskeletal conditions, persistent pain, sports and gym-related injuries, post-operative rehabilitation and return-to-sport programs, and is often sought out for second-opinion consultations by people who have not achieved lasting results elsewhere.
In 2018 Marcin founded Vitalis Physiotherapy with a vision of structured, evidence-based care focused on long-term outcomes rather than short-term symptom relief. In 2024 he expanded that vision through Forge, creating a modern rehabilitation facility combining expert clinical care, advanced technology and performance-based rehabilitation.
A significant milestone came in 2022, when he completed the ProSport Academy — an intensive 15-month mentorship led by David O’Sullivan, former physiotherapist for England Rugby Union and England Rugby League. It reinforced his belief in a systematic step-by-step model that finds the true source of dysfunction rather than chasing the symptom.
He is passionate about empowering patients through education, and believes understanding the “why” behind pain and injury is what makes results last.
