James is a sports physiotherapist with 20 years of experience working across various backgrounds including elite sport, private practice, military, industrial and government.

James has a grounding in manual therapy and has always being an active rehabilitation advocate no matter what level of outcome you need.

A particular passion has always been running mechanics and performance, ever since the need to win the local under 10s sprint race prompted a visit to the library to find a book on how to run faster. This has lead to a lifelong search for how to help his running athletes optimise their rehabilitation and performance.

From working in high-performance sport as a physiotherapist with some of Australia’s best track and field athletes for 8 years, James knows what goes into high-performance systems wants you to benefit from that experience. James continues to work with running athletes including nationally and internationally ranked running, cross country, triathlon and track and field athletes - as well as the many other sports that involve running.

The ‘why’ behind creating the three stages at SANO (Restore, Function, Perform) is to provide a framework that helps all patients and athletes by meeting them at the level of need they currently require. This allows a choice for the level of support and outcome needed to deliver the desired physical rehabilitation and performance outcome.
