I have been seeing Ian for nearly 7 years now and wouldnt go anywhere else! As soon as I feel a niggling pain come on I am straight into see Ian who brings instant relief. I have also seen Ian for a number of more serious injuries and the outcome is always excellent! Ian also provides ongoing treatment and care and genuinely cares for his patients which results in the best outcome possible. Convenient location and always on time, I highly recommend Coastal Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic.

I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet when I first attended Ian's clinic. After concentrated therapy, he gradually reduced treatment until I was pain free (which I have been for many years now). Appointments are now every couple of months to maintain posture, well-being and release tension. Ian's honest, upbeat but gentle approach works perfectly for me.

Ian has treated a number of chronic conditions I have acquired throughout my rugby league career, as well as treating a severe hamstring rupture resulting from a water skiing accident. His willingness to keep an open mind and treat using a holistic and hands on approach has seen significant improvement in symptoms far beyond what was expected by other medical specialists, and allowed me to manage injuries and maintain an active lifestyle without surgical intervention that I have no doubt would have been required otherwise. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone.

I came to Ian with chronic neck pain and am very glad I did, Ian is the only one in a long line that has been able to make a positive difference. Since then Ian has also helped fix a few different sports injuries, ensuring I understand how to manage the injury and avoid repeats.

Ian Harris is FANTASTIC! He knows exactly what is out of line in your body or what is causing you pain, and gives you very simple and effective exercises to combat that. Before seeing Ian, I had bad posture, used to be in so much pain and and constantly use to injure myself at the gym, but after seeing Ian Harris, not anymore. I now see Ian every 2 / 3 months to make sure my body is in check, I don't wanna go back to what I was.

After suffering from back pain as a result of poor deadlifting form, I came to this practice. The reviews are outstanding for a reason. Ian is fantastic at what he does and goes out of his way to ensure he not only solves the issue, but prevents future injury from occurring. I went in for a back injury, which was sorted after the second session, but have been returning even since because he has also fixed much of the pain caused by my scoliosis. Highly recommend this practice.

Being a jockey comes with a lot of highs. The thrill of a big win. The satisfaction of getting a job done. Even seeing smiles on successful punters.
Along with those highs comes a lot of lows, mainly working in a high risk job, when the worst low happens it is usually a bad fall.
I've had a lot of highs but also had some bad falls. At one stage my career looked over after a serious shoulder injury.
I didn't want it to end that way so, off to Ian and the team at Coastal physio I galloped. I had been there a number of times before for other injuries, and he always gets me back out on the track

Worth moving to the Gold Coast JUST to find Ian and Steve. Going to this physio basically saved my life. I cannot rate how highly I regard them. If you have any need for a physio look no further. Coastal Physiotherapy is the best physio you could ever go to, full stop. As a fit healthy 34 yr old I injured myself water skiing in late 2005 (right hip extensive labral tear) and after seeing numerous doctors and physio's in Perth as well as undergoing a surgery in 2010 (right hip arthroscopy) and seeing little improvement I was starting to resign myself to the idea that I would live in chronic pain

I have been to my fair share of physio and physical therapists and can honestly say that Ian has been the best by fair. I experienced a severe hip injury and did not see much improvement after spending a significant amount of time and money at another physical therapist. A friend recommended Ian, and I was immediately impressed by his ability to not only diagnose my injury, but explain it to me in a way I could understand. He made sure I understood his instructions and answered all of my questions. I also appreciated his professionalism and friendliness. I have since visited Ian for multiple injuries
