Whenever someone mentions they’re dealing with muscle strain or pain, I always recommend Ian.
Ian is a highly skilled physiotherapy and sports injury professional with years of training and knowledge, which he generously shares with his clients. He uses a range of techniques that have helped resolve several issues I’ve experienced through my daily activities.
What I really appreciate is how he listens carefully and takes the time to understand the problem. You can almost see his mind working through the issue — first addressing the immediate concern, and then developing a plan with exercises to strengthen the affected muscles and prevent it from happening again.
Ian is a true gentleman who clearly has a great passion for his profession. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy or help with a sports injury.

I was originally diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis by a Gold Coast specialist, and after trying multiple medications with no relief, I began to seriously doubt the diagnosis. A friend recommended I see Ian at Coastal Physiotherapy — and I’m so glad I did.
Ian’s hands-on, holistic approach is completely different from anything I’ve experienced before. He takes the time to educate you on how your body functions, using trial-and-proof movements that actually make sense and deliver results. After just the first session, I could physically see results — something I hadn’t experienced in years.
Within 5–6 weeks of seeing Ian, my chronic back pain significantly subsided — and I’m now back to carrying out my daily work as a plumber, something I was starting to think might not be possible anymore.
In the past, physios told me I had the back of a 70–80 year old and just needed to stretch my hamstrings. Ian took me in a completely different direction, using small, manageable exercises that fit into my daily routine and actually work. It’s been a total game-changer — I truly feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life.
Thank you, Ian and Coastal Physiotherapy. I only wish more people knew about your incredible work. If you're struggling with pain and not getting answers — go and see Ian. He might just turn your life around like he did mine.

From my very first session with Ian, he took the time to understand my issues and explain what was happening and why. His approach is both professional and caring. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive and results driven physiotherapist.

I recommend Ian to everyone I come across. I’ve been seeing him for years now and there is never anything my body throws at him that he can’t get on top of quickly and efficiently. Most importantly he is an incredible teacher; I’ve learned more from him than any other health professional I’ve ever seen. Cannot recommend enough!
