ABOUT US
NICHOLAS RYAN
Principal & APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist
BPhysio, MMuscPhysio, MACP, APAM
Born and bred in Mackay, Nick was an active sportsman. It was through sport that he was first introduced to physiotherapy.
Through his childhood Nick regularly visited Airlie for weekends and holidays creating some of his fondest memories in the area.
He then moved to Townsville to study a Bachelor of Physiotherapy before returning to Mackay to start his career.
Nick developed his skills as a physio over the following years, travelling to attend professional development courses both interstate and internationally. Nick has also completed his post-graduate Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy through LaTrobe University and is an APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. To attain the APA Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Title, a physiotherapist has undergone a rigorous training process including further clinical placements, theory and practical exams and has demonstrated exceptional experience and knowledge.
Nick treats all musculoskeletal and sporting injuries (whether they are work injuries, elite sports people or your weekend warrior), but has a special interest in shoulders, knees and ankles, lower backs and dizziness.
When Nick isn't at the clinic you'll find him exploring waterholes or out around the beautiful Whitsundays, probably not catching much!
