Ryan’s interest in physiotherapy began after recovering from a few too many knee injuries playing sport as a youngster.

Ryan’s first few years after graduation were working within the private practice setting, exposed to various sporting injuries, as well as chronic head, neck, and jaw pain. Unable to split his two interests, Ryan’s passion for physiotherapy led him to join the team at Junction Road Physiotherapy.

With a commitment to ongoing education, Ryan has undertaken courses locally and nationally in an effort to discover the most effective methods to manage and improve pain. He has completed the Watson Headache® Institute training, temporomandibular training and attended and taught Trigger Point Dry Needling courses from the Global Education of Manual Therapists’ group.

Ryan understands the impacts pain and injury have on all areas of life having had his personal experience with injury and believes finding the cause of a person’s pain is the key to success in maximising patient outcomes.
