Phil Cossens

Phil Cossens is a specialist sports and exercise physiotherapist with over 25 years’ experience in elite sport and clinical practice. Having worked with athletes in gymnastics, rowing, tennis, baseball and swimming, Phil has developed deep expertise in complex upper limb injuries. He presents nationally to physiotherapists seeking to advance their skills in elbow, wrist and hand injury management, and mentors experienced clinicians as a facilitator for the Australian College of Physiotherapists fellowship program — ensuring he remains at the forefront of emerging research in sports injury management.

His work with elite Australian teams has taken him to the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games, three Commonwealth Games and fourteen World Championships.

In 2025, Phil opened his own clinic on the VIC/NSW border at Cobram-Barooga, providing expert care and support to rural patients and clinicians. He welcomes second opinions and consultant services, working closely with each patient’s management team to optimise outcomes. For those unable to attend in person, telehealth appointments are available.
