Services
Online consultations give you direct access to a sports injury specialist from the comfort of your home or gym. You’ll receive a full assessment, tailored rehabilitation plan, and ongoing support to keep you progressing with confidence, whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or building back to sport.
Expert injury advice, wherever you are.
For athletes who prefer to work face-to-face, Tim offers in-person consultations every six weeks at Complete Physio, Richmond.
These sessions provide detailed movement assessment, manual therapy where appropriate, and tailored exercise progressions designed to restore strength, control, and confidence. Each plan bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and real-world performance, so you can return to training and competition safely.
Hands-on guidance and performance-based rehab.
Research and Public Engagement
Tim regularly contributes to research, publications, and public speaking in the fields of sports and exercise medicine, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. He collaborates with universities, professional bodies, and sporting organisations to translate research into practical strategies for athletes, clinicians, and coaches.

“Following a disappointing meeting with a leading orthopaedic surgeon in August 2023, I was advised that I required a full ACL reconstruction. As a gym owner and coach, this was not something I wanted to rush into. I reached out to Tim who undertook a thorough review of my MRI results and we discussed my symptoms in detail (online). We agreed to undertake a conservative approach and checked in regularly to assess my progress.
With Tim’s guidance, I avoided ACL surgery and was able to return to light sparring in early 2024 and full sparring a few months later. I have since remained injury free and can’t recommend Tim highly enough for any combat sports athlete faced with orthopaedic injuries.”
