Tim is a keen amateur triathlete, with now two 70.3 IRONMAN Triathlons under his belt and his 3rd coming in March 2025. He loves treating endurance athletes and sports people, as he understands the level of rehabilitation needed to get back to events following injury and surgery.
He lives with his wife and two kids in Sydney and for exercise - if he is not out training, he is fullfuilling his passion for the snow by hitting the slopes at his favourite skifields in his beloved New Zealand.
SHOULDER RECONSTRUCTION
In Dec 2019, Tim personally underwent a full surgical repair for a supraspinatus rotator cuff avulsion tear. He has successfully returned to training, and knows
what it takes to get your shoulder from surgery right through to triathlons performance.
His shoulder surgery has helped shape his rehabilitation programming, as he knows first hand exactly what is needed at each stage of the recovery process and how important it is to follow a structured and intensive rehabilitation program.

ACL SURGERY AND KNEE INJURIES
In 2009 Tim tore is Anterior Cruciatre Ligament (ACL) and the medial meniscus in his left knee. With is passion for skiing, Tim immediately underwent ACL reconstruction surgery using the LARS system and a medial meniscal repair,
completed his ACL program and returned better than ever to the ski slopes 12 months later.
This first knee injury was how our first rehabilitation program was born. Perfected and updated throughout his rehabilitation journey, it has been the corner stone to the Physio Rehab online programming.
Recently in July 2024, Tim has suffered another knee injury skiing with 3 fractures and damage to the ACL, and once again he has successfully rehabilitated and is back running - preparing for his next Triathlon. This, like his other injuries reinforces the need for consistency, motivation and dedication to a specialised rehabilitation program to enable an athlete to return to doing what they love.
