Dr Benjamin Goodlich is a registered physiotherapist and researcher with expertise in neurophysiology and rehabilitation. With over five years of clinical experience, Benjamin has worked across a variety of settings, including acute inpatient care, outpatient rehabilitation, and perioperative management, where he has managed musculoskeletal and neurological cases. As a Lecturer at Griffith University, Benjamin taught broadly across the physiotherapy program, with particular interest in exercise prescription, musculoskeletal physiotherapy and neurophysiology.
Benjamin completed his PhD at Griffith University in 2024, where his research focused on serotonergic neuromodulation and motor unit activity in humans, using advanced techniques like high-density electromyography to explore applications in neurorehabilitation. His research interests include the neural mechanisms underlying movement and rehabilitation in conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
