About Timothy Lee

Tim is an experienced physiotherapist specialising in Rheumatology and chronic disease. With a degree from Sydney University and 10 years of dedicated service at BJC Health, he has honed his knowledge to help you feel better and regain control of your life. 

By working closely alongside the Rheumatologists on helping a variety of patients, Tim has developed a deep understanding of rheumatic diseases. To take his knowledge further he completed a post-graduate diploma in Rheumatology in 2023. Tim’s expertise and experience spans a wide range of inflammatory conditions including Ankylosing Spondylitis, Spondyloarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and more. He knows that each condition is unique, and his personalised approach to care ensures you receive the treatment that suits your specific needs. Tim also has experience working with NDIS participants with chronic conditions.

One of Tim's special interests lies in tendon-related issues such as gluteal tendinopathy, achilles tendinopathy and Plantar Fasciitis. He has invested time in ongoing training courses in this field and he is intrigued by the interplay between inflammatory conditions and mechanical tendon injuries. He also enjoys working with those with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Spondyloarthritis in helping them measure, monitor and manage their spinal pain and stiffness through exercise in conjunction with the medical management implemented by the treating Rheumatologist.

Beyond his professional expertise, Tim lives an active lifestyle himself regularly running and attending the gym. He's no stranger to overcoming injuries, having recovered from major knee surgery, multiple ankle sprains, achilles tendinopathy and lower back pain to name a few. His personal experiences have given him appreciation of the challenges of injury and equipped him with valuable strategies to assist you on your journey to recovery.

In his spare time, Tim enjoys hunting for the best burgers, watching Basketball and Rugby League, tending to his indoor plants, and going for walks outdoors.

How to Progress Your Exercise Program Without Overdoing It

How can this event help me?

Building strength, fitness, and confidence over time comes from gradually challenging your body in the right ways. Progressing your exercise routine helps support joint health, maintain independence, and ensure you continue moving toward your long-term goals. Even small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference to how strong and capable you feel day to day.

In this live online event, Exercise Physiologists Sarah Comensoli and Robyn Yin will share practical strategies to help you move your program forward with safety and confidence. This session is ideal for anyone wanting clearer guidance on how to advance their routine, whether you’re working on strength, mobility, stamina, or simply looking to keep building on what you can already do.

Join Sarah and Robyn for a practical discussion where they’ll cover:

  • Understanding Progression: Why regularly updating your program matters for building strength, fitness, and long-term physical independence.
  • Progressive Overload: How to gradually increase load, volume, or intensity in a way that supports steady improvement and continued results.
  • Reading Your Body: Cues that help you know when you’re ready to progress and how to adjust your routine with clarity and confidence.
  • Balancing Training and Recovery: How planning your week, spreading out workloads, and allowing recovery can enhance your strength and stamina.
  • Tailoring Your Routine for Chronic Conditions: Approaches that support progress on both good and challenging days while keeping your goals in sight.
  • Practical Planning Tips: How to set achievable goals, choose exercises that match your needs, and build a routine that continues to grow with you.

Join us on Wednesday, February 4th at 8:00 PM AEDT for this informative live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
