STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Ryan is our Director and Exercise Physiologist. Although he owns and manages the clinics, he still enjoys working with clients and can be seen helping in the gym 5 days a week.

While raising two small children with his wife - our physiotherapist Jo - he's had time to get his first novel published. On Jan 15, he will be in a live Q & A for his SA-based thriller, Fostered Minds. If you're curious about writing, publishing, or would like to get your hands on a copy, check out this free local event:
