Brook Physio

Spinal & Sports Injury Clinic with over 35 years of Clinical Experience

Led by Dr. Ian Cowell, a physiotherapist with over 35 years of clinical, academic, and teaching experience, Brook Physiotherapy is a specialist clinic for spinal and sports-related injuries. Ian is an expert in persistent pain and Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT), addressing the complex interplay of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors that influence pain.

Our team shares this commitment to expert care, providing thorough assessment and tailored treatment for a broad range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. We focus on uncovering the root causes of your pain rather than just alleviating symptoms.

With a patient-centred approach, we take the time to understand your individual circumstances, creating personalised treatment plans that support recovery, restore function, and equip you with the tools to maintain long-term wellbeing.

At Brook Physiotherapy, your health, independence, and quality of life are our highest priorities.
