John Nugus

John graduated from the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1996 with a four year Bachelor of Physiotherapy. He has gained experience in a wide range of physiotherapy settings in both Australia and in the UK, and further developed his skills in pain management by completing a Masters Degree in Pain at Kings College London.

He works in a consultative role within Physio 1 to 1, seeing people who are suffering with chronic (long-term) pain. He thrives on helping both athletes - elite and amateur - whose pain is affecting their performance, and non-athletes who are suffering from chronic pain which limits their day to day function. John recognises the importance of developing individualised programs to help people achieve goals which are meaningful to them.

John brings to the practice a unique insight into the combination of pain management techniques and Pilates rehabilitation. He is a fully certified matwork and equipment based Pilates instructor. John integrates Pilates within his rehabilitation programs and alongside other physiotherapy techniques which may be required. He sees Pilates as a user friendly medium to improve clinical outcomes and reduce recurrence of injury.

John was previously a senior lecturer for six years with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI), teaching and accrediting other Chartered Physiotherapists in Pilates throughout the UK. He has also held the position of UK Director for the APPI . More recently John undertook an Honorary Research Fellow post at the Royal Brompton Hospital.

In his spare time John enjoys running. He represented Queensland in his younger days and now enjoys running marathons for fun. The London, Berlin and Dublin marathons are among those 'ticked', and he has plenty of other cities in his sights.
