Ian – Specialist Physiotherapist (BSc Hons)
Ian brings over 20 years of physiotherapy experience from both elite sports and private healthcare settings. His international career includes work with South Africa Cricket, Northern Titans Cricket, Northern Blues Hockey, professional golfers such as Ernie Els, and the GB Gymnastics team during their tour of South Africa. After founding and running a successful clinic in South Africa, Ian relocated to the UK in 2019 with his family, where he has since built a strong reputation among Sports Consultants and Orthopaedic Surgeons for delivering excellent patient outcomes.
He graduated from the University of Pretoria in 1997 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy and also completed two years of study in Human Movement Science. Ian’s approach centres on hands-on manual therapy to restore joint and soft tissue mobility, followed by structured, progressive rehabilitation exercises to support long-term recovery. He strikes an effective balance between manual techniques and exercise prescription to help patients return to their best.
Ian is also trained in kinesio-taping, dry needling, and hydrotherapy, which he incorporates when appropriate. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with a sports injury, or managing shoulder or back pain, Ian offers expert care tailored to your needs. His greatest satisfaction comes from seeing patients return to the activities they love, pain-free.
When he’s not in the clinic, Ian enjoys staying active through ball sports and is a keen golfer with a single-figure handicap. A former provincial-level hockey player, he also values spending time with family and friends—often over a well-earned social beer.
