About Grant Frost

Physiotherapist, APA Member

AHPRA Registered

Grant Frost is an Australian physiotherapist with over 20 years of real-world experience in musculoskeletal private practice. Based in the beautiful beachside town of Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Grant is known for looking beyond a person's symptoms to uncover the true underlying causes of pain and injury - so problems can be understood fully and solved, not just managed.

Your Wellness Nerd was created as a way for Grant to share what he has learned clinically over two decades, helping people who feel stuck, frustrated, or confused about why their pain exists or persists. His goal is simple: provide clear, practical, evidence-based insights that empower people to better understand their own bodies.

A strong advocate for evidence-based practice, Grant challenges narrow, one-size-fits-all approaches to healthcare. He is passionate about guiding the industry toward more thoughtful, sustainable, and effective solutions - especially for those who need it most: people living with pain or recovering from injury.
