Our journey into sports therapy
Hi I am Ian. My interest in sports therapy began after experiencing an ankle injury myself and seeking treatment for it to resolve. This personal journey ignited a passion to understand the human body and the most effective ways to aid recovery. At MSK Therapies in Plymouth, we believe in using a hands-on approach, utilising manual therapy in areas such as soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, and manipulation alongside electrotherapy, dry needling and rehabilitation exercise to provide you with the best care.
Empowering your path to recovery
When you come to MSK Therapies with pain or an injury, our main goal is to educate and reassure you. We want to show you a clear path to recovery, helping you get back to your daily tasks, work, or sport. Our philosophy is to empower you to self-help, rather than depend on ongoing passive interventions. We treat a range of MSK conditions, including spinal injuries, sports injuries, and general musculoskeletal pain.
Achievements and pride in helping you
I am proud of achieving a first-class honours degree in sport therapy and being awarded for an outstanding dissertation at graduation. Coupled with a Diploma in manipulative therapy, certified as a gym instructor and personal trainer these qualifications underpin my evidence-based treatments. However, the greatest satisfaction comes from helping you move from an injured state back to your best possible outcome.
"My injury journey was transformed by MSK Therapies. Their hands-on approach and commitment to educating me about my condition made all the difference!"
