Ian qualified as a sports therapist in 2001 and has been a regular therapist at the clinic for over 12 years. He started his journey as a therapist regularly working with Castleford Tigers Rugby League Club and Leeds United Football Club back in 2002.

Along with his sports therapy work, Ian is a qualified athletics coach and works with national and Olympic Athletes from Leeds in athletics and triathlon, where he is also the personal coach to key athletes. He enjoys maximising the performance of these athletes by managing training load, race programmes and the strengths of the athlete, which can be a fine balancing act. He is much valued and trusted by the high level athletes he works with, and applies this same knowledge to athletes of any level.

A former Welsh international athlete, Ian has a wealth of experience in running and triathlon and is always keen to pass his knowledge on to his on clients while treating them at the Coach House.

He has a keen interest in the lower limb in particular calf complex and Achilles, but has a broad knowledge of most soft tissue areas.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Over the years I have worked with a number of the physios at CSPC, I have found them to be up to date with their thinking and treatments, willing to share their knowledge with one and other and clients. I always recommend CSPC to friends and clients. They have helped hold body and soul together, thank you.

I am absolutely delighted with the shockwave treatment I have received at CSPC physiotherapy Clinic and the results it has produced. Each session has measurably reduced the size of my bursitis to the point it has almost gone, with corresponding improvement in my range of movement and comfort in the affected area. It has also ameliorated calcification in my shoulder. A great big thank you to Alison and Julianna for your help!

I cannot believe how well I feel. Four years ago, I felt consigned to the ‘rust pile’, today I feel ‘shiny’ and ready for the next challenge. CSPC can seriously alter your way of life …for the better.

Within the one hour appointment I received hands on treatment that relieved most of my pain and by the evening I was breathing and moving pain free. By the following morning I was back to ‘full dad duties’ much to the surprise of my partner, who with seeing how quickly I had recovered, started to think I’d made it all up to have a good rest!

After a long car journey to Leeds, I arrived with some discomfort in my upper back that worsened over the next day to the point that I could hardly breathe or move without feeling excruciating pain.

I’d done a gym session a week or so previously and had felt some discomfort in my back but rested and thought nothing of it. A long car journey combined with caring for two young children resulted in me having excruciating back pain and if it wasn’t for getting an emergency appointment at CSPC physiotherapy clinic I would not have made it home and probably checked myself into A&E!

Thanks CSPC physiotherapy for getting me back to my best – super quickly!
