Scott Cook

After graduating from University of Queensland, Scott Cook hadn’t quite decided on which direction he would follow. So he worked in various hospitals and private practices throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria searching for that particular interest. He then thought he might find the answer overseas so, he embarked on the ultimate Aussie rite of passage, and travelled overseas where he worked in various hospitals throughout the UK. On his return to Australia, Scott saw an opportunity to expand his interest in Neck and Jaw conditions and in 2007, along with business partner, Nigel Smith acquired Body Mechanics Physiotherapy (now The Headache, Neck & Jaw Clinic).

Scott extended this interest by developing his skills through training with Dr Mariano Rocobado, for TMJ conditions, and The Watson Headache® Institute in Sydney, for Headache and Neck conditions. Scott is now a qualified Level 3 Watson Practitioner, one of only seven such Practitioners in Australia. He works closely with Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endodontists, Prosthodontists and Dentists to achieve positive outcomes for their patients through targeted physiotherapy treatment.

Apart from his hands on work, Scott also Lectures at University of Queensland Dental School, regularly appears as a guest speaker for Dental Study Groups, Endodontic Groups and in 2013 was a speaker at the International Congress of Voice Teachers. Along with Nigel Smith, Scott also conducts “TMJ Dinners” for Dentists to provide a forum to educate and share ideas.
