Niamh

Physiotherapist

Niamh is our resident Hyrox champion, recently winning in Madrid. She competes in CrossFit competitions and as a professional dancer, was in the Dance World Cup and England finals.

This keen interest in elite sport has led her to develop a specific interest in functional training and sports rehab.

Niamh graduated from the University of Birmingham with a first-class honours in Physiotherapy. She is also qualified in acupuncture and likes a mixed approach to treatment consisting of manual treatment and rehab therapy to provide long term outcomes. She has worked in both the private sector and the NHS and has treated a wide variety of patients including athletes, people with chronic pain and many other musculoskeletal conditions.

She is also qualified in APPI Pilates which has been shown to be of great benefit for lower back pain, neck injuries and post-partum diastasis recti as it focuses on core strength, control and muscle activation. The principles of Pilates are also very beneficial for most athletes when working on movement pattern control and stability and she is excited to promote this within 5Physio and all its affiliates

Dan

Founder & Director

Dan is the founder and director of 5Physio, he has mastered his craft in the NHS and Private sector for the last 10 years with a big ambition to provide elite Physiotherapy care to the local community. ‘Dan has a very diverse Physiotherapy background but specialises in chronic back and neck pain, always making sure the main focus is on diagnosing the root cause of someone’s pain rather than just symptom managing.

His unique experience working in many multi-disciplinary settings has allowed him to gain invaluable knowledge and has been able to tailor his treatments to provide successful outcomes for all his patients. He is a strong believer in combining a very hands on approach alongside other treatments such as joint manipulation, acupuncture, shockwave therapy, electrotherapy and rehabilitation to achieve fantastic results for everyone.

When he’s not in the clinic he’ll normally be found on the golf course sulking because his business partner Kane has beaten him over 18 holes.’

Kane

Medical Director

Kane is medical director at 5Physio. Prior to 5Physio, he was the Head of Department at one of the most established and respected Orthopaedic and Sports clinics in Dubai, UAE. There he treated athletes from many different sports, both professional/amateur and people from all around the world. He also covered large sporting events such as the Dubai Rugby 7s and assisted with professional football teams during their winter training breaks.

Before spending nearly 6 years as an expat, Kane worked in the UK for both the NHS and private sector. He has vast experience in treating sport injuries, tendinopathies(tendinitis), neck and shoulder pain. He has also had enough knee injuries playing football to keep his skills up to date.

Kane is a trained diagnostic ultrasonographer and feels that a thorough assessment and a clear diagnosis is essential in a successful outcome. He regularly uses treatments such as soft tissue massage, joint manipulation, dry needling and acupuncture to help aid his patients recovery.

When he is not spending time with the family, Kane enjoys playing golf and tennis, although both are more suited to the year round sunshine in Dubai. However, he is looking forward to showing Dan what the fairway looks like.
