Sadly I only met Ian in the twilight of my professional cycling career, however, since meeting him he has somehow managed to halt the recurrent injuries and niggles I used to suffer. I have finally reached a point on the bike where I can ride powerfully and pain free, now swapping to Ironman and challenging him to improve my running. His broad knowledge base and thorough management technique inspires confidence as long as you invest your own time in following his rehabilitation plans.

Since seeing Ian at the start of the year, he has managed to get me back training at full capacity which I never thought was possible since the issues with my back and knee arose. I have seen numerous physio’s and osteopaths and never felt they were really interested in getting me back training and competing the way Ian has. His passion and eagerness to correct and re-train how the body moves is what kept me coming back and I would highly recommend!
