DR TRAVIS CUSCUNA
As one of the Chiropractors and Directors here at Health House Clinics, I’m a passionate and vastly experienced family and sports-focused practitioner. Since 2012, I’ve been serving the local community of the Sutherland Shire.
My personalised, unique, multimodal approach to treating, rehabilitating and educating my patients allow me to provide solutions to a wide spectrum of neuromusculoskeletal presentations including but not limited to:

Away from clinical practice, I played Rugby League for 25 years including junior representative Football for the Balmain Tigers. Since retiring, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons, travelling and experiencing new cultures and trying my hand in the kitchen.
