Sports Physiotherapist
Tristan is a Sports Physiotherapist who focuses on an exercise and load management approach to rehabilitation, injury prevention and ultimately performance training.
Approach
His belief is rehabilitation and injury prevention/reduction is on a continuum with performance training. And, will help guide patients to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and improved capacity to complete their activity/goals. Such as:
- Improving or restoring function for elite level sport
- Management of back pathology and persistent pain
- Arthritis management
- Preparation and recovery for a medical intervention, such as surgery or injection therapy
Patients who see Tristan will be receiving planned interventions with progress towards their goals; often centered around improving efficiency (biomechanics of movement patterns) and output (strength & tolerance to activity).

- Tendinopathy assessment and management
- Hip and groin assessment and management
- High Performance mentorships with leading American company EXOS (athletes performance) involving absolute speed, acceleration and multidirectional speed biomechanics and training.
Education, Load monitoring, and Strength & conditioning will form the foundation of all programs.
