Ian Repton

Ian has over twenty years of experience within elite sports and private practice including South Africa cricket, Northern Titan Cricket, Northern Blues Hockey, professional golfers including Ernie Els, and also the GB gymnastics team when they toured SA. He set up and ran a successful clinic in South Africa before moving to the UK with his family in 2019. Since then he has quickly developed an excellent reputation with Sports Consultants and Orthopaedic Surgeons with whom he enjoys working to ensure the best outcomes for his patients.

Ian qualified with a BSc (Hons) at the University of Pretoria in 1997 alongside two years of a Human Movement Science degree. He believes in going back to basics by first mobilizing the soft tissue or joint with his hands and then overseeing a gradual increase in active rehabilitation exercises. Ian achieves an excellent balance of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation to help his patients. He has also completed courses in kinesio-taping, dry needling, and hydrotherapy. Ian’s greatest reward is seeing the joy on his patients’ faces when they resume pain-free training.

If you have a sports injury and want to get back to your beloved sport, or if you are suffering from shoulder or back pain, or are looking for someone who has plenty of experience with post-op recovery, Ian is the physio for you.

In his spare time, Ian enjoys playing any ball sport. He is a single-figure golfer and past provincial hockey player. Having a social beer with family and friends is also high on his agenda during his downtime.
