Meet Rob Nash – Chronic Fatigue Specialist in Melbourne

Integrative Exercise Physiologist and Myotherapist

Rob Nash is a highly experienced Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Recovery Coach based in Melbourne, with a focus on supporting individuals living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and other complex, misunderstood conditions.

As the founder of Heal & Thrive, Rob offers a distinctive, whole-person approach that blends neuroscience, behaviour change, movement therapy, and nervous system education.

For over ten years, Rob has worked closely with clients experiencing persistent fatigue, pain, and dysautonomia – including those navigating post-viral syndromes, fibromyalgia, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). His approach is grounded in evidence, compassion, and a commitment to validating and empowering those who often feel unseen in the healthcare system.

Rob’s work is shaped not only by his professional expertise, but also by his own lived experience with chronic neck pain. He understands first-hand the emotional, physical, and psychological toll these conditions can take – and what’s needed to move through them with clarity and support.

Today, Rob is recognised for his calm, encouraging style and ability to translate complex health concepts into practical, achievable steps. He is deeply committed to helping clients regain confidence in their bodies, find balance in daily life, and experience meaningful improvement – no matter where they’re starting from.
