Having started his career as the lead sports physiotherapist of Greece’s Open Water Swimming National Team, Isaak possesses extensive experience in sports rehabilitation.

He completed a Master’s in Advanced Manipulative Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham which allowed him to further specialise in spinal and peripheral joints’ conditions. Isaak is a member (by examination) of the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP) since 2013.

He has a special interest in performing arts medicine and is registered with the British Association of Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM) since 2016.

Being a musician himself, he is one of the few physiotherapists in the country possessing a combination of clinical and musical knowledge which has proven to be an asset in the rehabilitation of performance-related injuries. Isaak is currently honoured to work with musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO).

Alongside his clinical work, Isaak is a clinical educator and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). He has 10 years of post-graduate teaching experience with the Universities of Birmingham and East London. At the University of Birmingham, Isaak worked as a full-time member of the Physiotherapy faculty and contributed as a researcher to many physiotherapy-related studies.

His research has focused on spinal conditions and exercise prescription (whiplash injury, chronic neck pain & thoracic spine), developing assessment methods (vibration testing in early neuropathies), and developing teaching tools for physiotherapy students (dynamometer-assisted mobilisations).

He has publications in several renowned journals including Manual Therapy, Physiotherapy, British Medical Journal and PLoS ONE. He has presented his work at national and international conferences and received awards from the MACP, Elsevier and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).
