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!

ELLIE RUDDELL
Principal Physiotherapist
BPhysio, APAM

Having grown up in the Whitsunday Region, Ellie is excited to return home!

​

Ellie completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at James Cook University in 2014 and since then has undertaken an extensive range of further training and study.

​

Ellie loves the outdoors - boating, fishing, camping and running her dog, Murphy.  How can you not enjoy the outdoors in North Queensland?

​

Ellie enjoys treating a range of conditions, in particular neck and headaches, spinal pain/injuries, knees, ankles and running injuries/rehabilitation.  Ellie has a strong belief that education is key and will strive to empower patients with a full and thorough understanding of their injury or condition and the treatment best suited to them.

Jon Miller-Eves
Physiotherapist
M. Physiotherapy, BSc Health Science, APAM

Jon grew up in Fremantle, Western Australia and graduated from Curtin University in 2019. He spent a few years working in private practices in regional areas around WA and then returned to Perth and started a role as an onsite Physiotherapist in the mining industry.


After a few years back in the city, he started getting itchy feet and looking for a change of scenery. He visited Whitsundays for a holiday near the end of 2024 and liked it so much he decided to move here a few months later!

 

Jon has an interest in all things musculoskeletal, particularly lower back, ankle and shoulder rehabilitation. He believes that movement is one of the best medicines for treating pain, and that an appropriately tailored exercise program can help people regain their function from even the most chronic injuries.


Outside the clinic you will find him in the gym practicing what he preaches, swinging a golf club, in the water with a snorkel (and maybe a dive tank), camping, 4WDing, or relaxing at home.
