About Ioannis

I started my journey in healthcare as an assistant physiotherapist and since then I have never looked back. My appetite for continuous development led me to Osteopathy and then my special interest in sports, cultivated the idea of progressing into the Sports and Exercise Medicine (MSc) course at Leeds Beckett University soon after I graduated from Osteopathy.

That has developed me as a person and practitioner introducing me to great cities and wonderful communities in Thessaloniki, Swansea, Rochdale, Doncaster, and Leeds. My treatment approach is patient-centred and tailored to holistically manage any given injury/condition.

I then graduated from Swansea University with a Masters degree in Osteopathy. My passion for sport led me to pursue a second Masters degree, MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine, which I completed at Leeds Beckett University. One of my career aspirations is to work with elite level athletes to help them accomplish their goals.

With prior studies in the field of physiotherapy, and my advanced level degree in Osteopathy, I have set the foundation to offer a holistic treatment approach within a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. My interests lie in patients with chronic pain, spinal problems, sporting injuries and rehabilitation.
In my spare time I enjoy travelling and exploring new places.

I am registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and I am member of the Institute of Osteopathy (IO).

I started seeing Josh last year in preparation of my first marathon. I'm a big believer that prevention is better than the cure and I felt I was carrying a few minor ailments. I see him every 6-8 weeks and discuss my current training and niggles which he works on resolving and suggests different exercises and stretches to improve moving forward. Following the sessions I feel more flexible and balanced and I'm training for my second marathon. I'd highly recommend the Good Health Centre and Josh. He's a great osteopath and person!

Josh is an excellent osteopath (with physiotherapy experience). He is a keen runner and so has great insight into running injuries. When I first went to see him I had been misdiagnosed twice and was feeling quite helpless. In our first session he diagnosed me with an adductor tendinopathy and gave me a rehab plan that developed through our sessions. After a handful of appointments I am back running and will definitely be back for checkups to avoid future injuries. I would recommend Josh to anyone with a running injury. 💯

Currently seeing osteopath here who is lovely and very soothing touch with my sciatica. I've been popping so many painkillers as the pain in my leg has been so extreme. I'm hoping she can cure my bad sciatica altogether... Well worth the price not to mess your stomach up from all those painkillers!!

Great clinic. Quick appointments. My treatment from osteopath Ioannis is excellent. Don't think I'll need to go back, but have made an appointment just in case. Highly recommended
